Criminal law 2025 ONCA 28

United States v. Emony

The application was dismissed because the applicant failed to satisfy s.679(3)(b): he remains a significant flight risk who is unlikely to surrender into custody; the proposed surety was previously found unsuitable by a trial judge, nothing material has changed, electronic monitoring is insufficient to mitigate the risk, and the strength of the case and proximity to surrender increase his incentive to flee.

  • Bail pending extradition
  • S.20 extradition act
  • S.679 criminal code
  • Flight risk
  • Surety suitability
  • Electronic monitoring

Extradition law 2024 ONCA 785

United States v. Mann

Disclosure dismissed for lack of nexus; committal upheld because the private use exception is a defence outside the committal judge's limited role (and alternatively consent was tainted by an exploitative relationship); Minister's surrender decision was reasonable and consultation with IRCC was meaningful.

  • Committal hearing
  • Surrender decision
  • Disclosure
  • Private use exception
  • Child pornography (s.163.1)
  • Abuse of process

Criminal law 2024 ONCA 744

R. v. Nygard

Bail pending appeal is refused because, notwithstanding one arguable ground regarding admission of expert evidence, the applicant failed to demonstrate he will surrender (credible surety lacking, significant flight incentives and resources, history of non‑compliance), and release would undermine public confidence given the seriousness and nature of the offences and multiplicity of outstanding charges and extradition proceedings.

  • Bail pending appeal
  • Expert evidence (neurobiology of trauma)
  • Similar fact evidence
  • Jury instructions on prior consistent statements
  • Allegation of drugging
  • Sentence appeal
