On a motion to adopt Dr. Polak’s recommendations in a family law case, is the mother's only offer to settle?

47. On the other hand, the mother’s only offer to settle dealt with many issues. But it was not fully responsive to the parenting issues raised in this motion by the father. It only included an adoption of Dr. Polak’s recommendations, without reference to any parenting arrangements. Those recommendations were only process oriented, dealing with counselling, coaching and assessment. But, while I did recommend their voluntary implementation, there was no motion before me to adopt Dr. Polak’s recommendations. Accordingly, one cannot say that there was what Nordheimer J. described in Beaver v. Hill as a “true element of compromise” in her offer.
