What is the test for adjournment in a child protection case?
Ontario, Canada
The following excerpt is from E.R. v P.L., 2016 ONSC 7492 (CanLII):
An adjournment request brought during a child protection case must be considered in light of the child’s own s. 7 rights to life, liberty and security of the person. Where there is a conflict between the parents’ Charter rights and the child’s best interests, the child’s best interests must prevail. See A.R. v. Alberta (Child, Youth and Family Enhancement Act, Director), [2014] ABCA 148 and Children and Family Services for York Region v. H.C., [2008] O.J. 3536.
