Though we rarely blog about child protection cases, the matter of Children’s Aid Society of Ottawa v. M. (E.S.) raised an interesting issue that sometimes arises in cases outside the “child protection” realm. The issue is whether a parent should be permitted to call his child as a witness at trial. In this instance, however, the father wanted to call his stepson. The matter was heard by Justice de Sousa whose judgment was released April 19, 2011.
