The appellant appealed the Ontario Review Board's disposition ordering that he continue to be subject to a Conditional Discharge.
The Court of Appeal found that the Board made serious errors of law, as there was no positive evidence that the appellant continued to pose a significant threat to public safety.
The appellant had been living in the community for almost five years, adhered to his medication, and had the support of his treatment team for an absolute discharge.
The appeal was allowed, and the appellant was granted an absolute discharge.
