The appellant challenged a Review Board disposition continuing his detention in a maximum secure forensic facility after findings of not criminally responsible on multiple threatening offences.
He argued that the Board failed to address an alleged treatment impasse, failed to order the least onerous and least restrictive disposition, and failed to consider re-integration into society.
The Court of Appeal held that the record supported the Board’s conclusion that the appellant remained a significant threat to public safety, that active treatment efforts were ongoing, and that transfer to medium security was not shown to be appropriate or less restrictive in practical terms.
The appeal was dismissed.
