M.A.A. v. D.E.M.E. I have concluded that the evidence establishes that the children would, on a balance of probabilities, suffer serious harm if returned to their habitual residence of Kuwait. Ontario therefore may and should exercise jurisdiction to determine custody and access. I have also concluded that it was an error to order the return of the children pending the determination of their refugee claim. 29 July 2020 \| Judicial Body: Canada: Court of Appeal for Ontario \| Document type: Case Law \| Topic(s): Children's rights - Children-at-risk - Physical harm - Refugee status determination (RSD) / Asylum procedures \| Countries: Canada - Kuwait
