What is the general power of a court in matters relating to infants?
Saskatchewan, Canada
The following excerpt is from Thompson v. Leland Estate et al., 1986 CanLII 3003 (SK QB):
The general power of a court in matters relating to infants was canvassed by Mr. Justice Disbery in Misfeldt v. Chowen, 1973 CanLII 973 (SK QB), [1973] 2 W.W.R. 551. In my view, the following remarks at p. 556, although relating to custody, have general application to infants: “Her Majesty the Queen, as parens patriae to all infants within her territories, extends to them, be they legitimate or illegitimate, the protection of her courts.”
