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.
