New Brunswick, Canada
The following excerpt is from B.V. v J. L., 2016 NBQB 161 (CanLII):
I expressed that view in so many words to the parties at the outset of the hearing. I was mindful of the concern expressed in Dougherty v. Humbel: But whether or not the court is being asked to step into the role of a parent, the fundamental problem is one acknowledged by counsel for the plaintiff during argument. The court is being asked to make a far reaching decision based on limited information. (2000 BCSC 1673 at para. 13)
