The application to admit fresh evidence was dismissed because the proffered evidence was third‑party observational material from a person with a relationship to the respondent, raised credibility concerns, and the court concluded the evidence would not have a material impact on the trial judge's decision; although a looser approach to post‑trial evidence applies in children's cases, admissibility still depends on content, weight and likely effect on the original ruling.
