The Crown applied under s. 680 of the Criminal Code for a direction to review a bail order releasing the respondent on a charge of second degree murder.
The respondent was charged with murdering his common law wife.
The Crown argued the bail judge erred in applying the tertiary ground for detention.
The court held that an applicant under s. 680 must demonstrate a 'reasonable prospect of success' to obtain a direction for review.
Finding no legal error, misapprehension of evidence, or unreasonable result by the bail judge, the court concluded there was no realistic prospect a panel would reverse the decision and dismissed the application.
