What is the test for good faith in a child protection application?
British Columbia, Canada
The following excerpt is from Hansen v. Ferguson, 2015 BCSC 588 (CanLII):
As Kent J stated in Pepin v. McCormack, 2014 BCSC 2230 at para. 69: Good faith is a subjectively held state of mind. It involves an assessment of whether the reasons asserted by [the relocating parent] for the proposed relocation are the real reasons for the move. If so, and if the court determines on an objective basis that relocation will likely enhance [the child’s] general quality of life, then the decision to relocate will normally be found to have been made in good faith.
