Summary:
Child placed with the claimant on 2-10-2000 for adoption. Wanting to receive 35 weeks of parental benefits instead of the 10 payable before changes to the legislation, the claimant argued that this date should not be used because the placement was not made pursuant to a placement order, which did not come until later, on 31-12-2000. Deemed that this interpretation would lead to a ridiculous situation and would prevent the legislation from serving its purpose.

Summary:
Two infant brothers were placed in the claimant's home with the purpose of adoption. Theodore was placed on March 25, 1998 and his brother's placement took place four days prior. Commission ruled that the placements were made at substantially the same time and comprised, therefore, a single placement. The BOR concluded that the placements four days part were separate placements and separate adoptions. Error in law ruled the Umpire. The four day period is not a significant period of time and it must follow that the two placements were made at substantially the same time.

Summary:
"The placing" of a child, for the purposes of the Act, refers to actual, physical custody. Generally, physical custody of a child occurs prior to actual adoption, which, in accordance with provincial law, usually occurs at a later date by final court order. The date of the placement, not the date of the court order, governs payment of benefits.

Summary:
"Actual placement" refers to the date on which the child is physically placed with the claimant for adoption purposes and not to the date on which the adoption order is issued: CUBs 10285B, 10880 and 11015. The Manitoba Act clearly seems to make such a distinction. [p._6]

Summary:
The Board was wrong to conclude that the child was "really placed" only at the time of the final adoption decision on 21-11-88. The Board should at least have found that the child had been really placed for adoption when the placement order was made on 21-6-88.
