Ontario, Canada
The following excerpt is from Huron-Perth Children's Aid Society v. J.L., 2019 ONCA 809 (CanLII):
Because the best interests, protection and well-being of the children is paramount according to the legislation, we admit all of the evidence relevant to the children’s interests on this appeal, including that filed by the OCL. As the children’s legal representative, the OCL has a duty to attend to their interests. In fulfilling that duty, the OCL may call evidence and make submissions on behalf of the children: Ludwig v. Ludwig, 2019 ONCA 680, at para. 69.
