Family law 2009 NSCA 83

Ross-Johnson v. Johnson

The motion for a stay was dismissed because the appellant failed to demonstrate special and persuasive circumstances showing that denying a stay would put the child's best interests at risk; the trial judge's custody decision was adequately reasoned, there was no evident error of law or palpable and overriding error of fact on the materials before the Court of Appeal, and returning the child to the mother would likely be more disruptive.

  • Stay pending appeal
  • Best interests of the child
  • Custody variation
  • Compliance with court orders
  • Custodial transfer
