An appeal under Part XX.1 of the Criminal Code against the Ontario Review Board's disposition dated February 4, 2019, ordering continued detention in the General Forensic Unit at the Centre for Addiction and Mental Health.
The appellant sought an absolute discharge or, alternatively, an independent assessment of his treatment plan and risk with an early hearing date.
The Court of Appeal dismissed the appeal, finding the Board's determination that the appellant continues to meet the threshold for significant threat was amply justified.
However, the court expressed concern that no concrete plan for community reintegration had been established as previously directed.
