Judge: The Honourable Justice Leslie Dellapinna
Heard: April 4, 5, 6, 7 and 8, 2005 in Halifax, Nova Scotia
Written Decision: April 14, 2005
Subject: A permanent care application pursuant to the provisions of the Children and Family Services Act.
Summary: The Minister of Community Services sought an order for the permanent care and custody of the Respondents’ twenty-three month old son. The child had special needs.
Issue: Should permanent care be granted to the Minister and if so should there be a provision for access?
Result: Permanent care was granted with no provision for access. The Respondents were unable to meet the needs of the child and if placed in their care he would be subject to an unacceptable risk of harm. Access was not considered to be in the best interests of the child and the requirements set out in the Act before an order for access could be granted were not satisfied.
