Judge: The Honourable Justice Leslie Dellapinna
Heard: February 16, 2005, March 1, 22 and 30 2005
in Halifax, Nova Scotia
Written Decision: April 21, 2005
Subject: An application for access to a child in the permanent care of the Minister of Community Services pursuant to the provisions of the Children and Family Services Act.
Summary: The child was placed in the permanent care and custody of the Minister of Community Services in September 1999. There was no provision for access. The child’s mother applied, for the third time, to vary that order seeking access to her daughter.
Issue: Have circumstances changed since the granting of the permanent care order and if so was access in the child’s best interests?
Result: Although circumstances had changed since the permanent care order was granted the mother had gained little insight into the reason why the child was placed in permanent care and it was determined that access was not in the child’s best interests. The application was dismissed.
