What is the "best interest" in maintaining the status quo on an interim motion?
Ontario, Canada
The following excerpt is from R.C. v. L.C., 2021 ONSC 1963 (CanLII):
Often in these cases, “best interest” is determined by maintaining the status quo. The status quo is particularly important in an interim motion because the court is often not able to make factual findings if there are, as in this case, conflicting affidavits: Pancel v. Henri, 2012 ONSC 546, at paras. 25 and 26. McPhail v. McPhail, 2018 ONSC 735, at para. 15.
