Application for judicial review of a parole by exception denial dismissed as moot.
The applicant, a federal inmate, sought judicial review of a Parole Board of Canada Appeal Division decision confirming he did not meet the criteria for parole by exception under s. 121 of the Corrections and Conditional Release Act.
He claimed procedural fairness and Charter breaches due to alleged failure to disclose his complete medical file regarding his hypertension and COVID-19 vulnerability.
The Federal Court dismissed the application, finding it was moot because the applicant had already become eligible for day parole.
In any event, there was no breach of procedural fairness as the Board had disclosed the health summary it relied upon, and the Charter claim lacked merit.
