CaseChat Overview and Summary

In *Savard and Savard*, heard by Judge Harland, the dispute concerned the education of a child, X. The parties, the mother and the father, were in disagreement regarding X's schooling arrangements, leading to various applications before the court.

The court was required to determine several key issues. These included the appropriate educational setting for X, the mother's actions in changing X's schooling, and the continuation of existing orders made on 21 August 2014. The court also had to consider the allocation of costs between the parties.

Judge Harland's reasoning focused on the best interests of the child, a paramount consideration in family law matters. The court found it necessary to ensure stability in X's education and to prevent further disruption. Consequently, the court ordered the re-enrolment of X at a specific pre-school and restrained the mother from making further changes to X's educational institutions. The existing orders of 21 August 2014 were confirmed. The mother was also ordered to pay the father's costs in the amount of $5,000 within six months.
