The applicant, an Indigenous person with a history of trauma and mental health challenges, sought a review of a detention order.
The reviewing judge found the Justice of the Peace committed an error of law by failing to apply Gladue principles.
Additionally, the applicant's recent acquisition of stable, supportive housing constituted a material change in circumstances.
The court concluded that the secondary ground concerns could be addressed through the wraparound supports and housing now available, and ordered the applicant's release on their own recognizance with Bail Program supervision.
