Summary

Case summaries are prepared by the Office of the Registrar of the Supreme Court of Canada (Law Branch). Please note that summaries are not provided to the Judges of the Court. They are placed on the Court file and website for information purposes only.

The applicant and the respondent had a child together in September 2009, and in July 2011 an order pertaining to child support and custody was issued. In June 2017, the applicant filed a motion for contempt against the respondent, alleging that she was in contempt of the July 2011 order. The Superior Court of Justice dismissed the applicant’s motion, and ordered the parties and the child to attend therapy and counselling. The Court of Appeal held that it did not have jurisdiction over the appeal from the dismissal of the motion for contempt as it was an interlocutory order, and that it also lacked jurisdiction to hear the appeal from the order to attend therapy and counselling. The appeal was transferred to the Divisional Court.
