The appellant, who was previously found not criminally responsible on account of mental disorder, appealed an Ontario Review Board disposition ordering his detention at a forensic psychiatric facility.
He argued the Board's finding that he posed a significant threat to public safety was unreasonable and that the Board breached its duty to inquire into his allegations of staff interference.
The Court of Appeal dismissed the appeal, finding the Board's decision was reasonable and supported by the evidence, and that the appellant's complaints lacked the air of reality necessary to trigger the Board's duty to inquire.
