Criminal law 2020 ONCA 701

Jenner (Re)

The Board reasonably accepted the treating psychiatrist's and the treatment team's evidence that the appellant would act out violently without the structure and staffing of his current secure placement; given his history and risk assessments, the Board was justified in concluding he remains a significant threat and in refusing to order a transfer to a less secure hospital at this time.

  • Review board disposition
  • Public safety risk
  • Expert psychiatric evidence
  • Hospital transfer and security assessment

Criminal law 2014 ONCA 198

  • Detention
  • Public safety risk
  • Ontario review board disposition
  • Joint submission
  • Part xx.1 criminal code
