Detention review under s. 525 of the Criminal Code. The Court upheld Mr. Houle’s continued detention on the secondary ground and directed efforts to seek an earlier trial date.
The application for a panel review under s.680 is dismissed because the bail judge did not make material errors of law or fact: she properly assessed and was entitled to be skeptical of the medical evidence, reasonably considered the proposed release terms and the involvement of the purported surety given the draft order, and correctly balanced reviewability and enforceability (including the arguable nature but limited weight of the expert‑evidence ground); there is no reasonable chance of success on review.
Source excerpt
At a s. 525 detention review, the court ordered Travis John Jury to remain in custody, finding he posed risks to public safety, witnesses, and the administration of justice.
The court found the accused breached his release order by being at Park Royal, cancelled the order, and detained him on secondary and tertiary grounds pending trial.
Because a s.517 non-publication order made at the bail hearing remains in effect and the decision contains information covered by that order, the court withheld publication of the decision until the non-publication order ceases to be in effect and provided interim access at the Court Registry.
Source excerpt
The application for leave to appeal was not frivolous, but the applicant failed to demonstrate that continued detention is unnecessary in the public interest; given the seriousness of trafficking heroin mixed with fentanyl, the high enforceability interest, the prior unanimous dismissal by this Court, the low reviewability interest, and the remaining sentence, release would undermine public confidence and therefore bail pending leave is denied.
Source excerpt
Detention review under s. 525, with reverse onus, ended in continued detention because repeated breaches of release conditions showed high risk and no adequate conditions.
In a s. 525 detention review, the court ordered Clayton Wade Zeleniski’s release on strict conditions, finding his revised plan sufficiently addressed public safety concerns.
The court upheld detention on a s. 525 review, finding a strong Crown case, serious firearm allegations, and an inadequate release plan.
The court dismissed a s. 525 detention review application, holding that the accused was ineligible because he was already detained on other matters.
