British Columbia, Canada


The following excerpt is from T.M.W. and R.W. v. N.L.W. and K.W., 2005 BCPC 342 (CanLII):

In Poulin v. Poulin, supra, Rogers J. wrote, at paragraph 10: "As a general proposition however, a judge proceeding… on a stay application of a custody order will be less concerned with the merit of the appeal and more concerned with how the stay would affect the child’s best interests."
