In a child protection case, does the court have to consider the impact of delay in determining when to grant a conditional discharge?

Ontario, Canada


The following excerpt is from CAS Ottawa v L.F.(1) and L.F.(2), 2016 ONSC 4044 (CanLII):

In child protection cases, the court must also consider the impact of delay on the best interests of children. See: Children’s Aid Society of Toronto v. L.T., 2016 ONCA 146, at paras. 6-7. The trial judge emphasized this factor in her decision.
