The appellant was found not criminally responsible for several offences committed during an acute episode of delirium.
The Ontario Review Board subsequently issued a detention order, finding he posed a significant threat to public safety.
On appeal, the Court of Appeal found the Board's decision unreasonable, as it failed to identify evidence meeting the high threshold for a significant threat and failed in its inquisitorial duty to probe the equivocal evidence.
The appeal was allowed, the detention order was set aside, and an absolute discharge was granted.
