This means that the court has the obligation to make such a determination in the remainder of the process, whether that determination of protection is to be made by the court in the case of the society's wishing to withdraw an application or in the case of the society and parents seeking approval of minutes of settlement, or in the case of the parties seeking a determination of protection by way of a full hearing.
