Product description
Annotated Children and Family Services Act, 3rd Edition annotates each substantive provision of Nova Scotia’s Children and Family Services Act.

The text provides separate chapters on Evidence in Child Protection Proceedings, Child Protection at the Supreme Court of Canada, and the Charter and Child Protection.
