The following excerpt is from Lyons v. Lawlor, 2020 ONCJ 184 (CanLII):
[16] There is a presumption that all orders should be respected and complied with. The onus, therefore, is on the party seeking to restrict access to provide specific evidence or examples of behaviour or plans by the other party that are inconsistent with Covid-19 protocols and expose the child to risk.
