The applicant applied for a bail review under s. 520 of the Criminal Code after his previous bails were revoked and he was detained on the secondary ground.
The applicant proposed a novel release plan involving a senior probation officer volunteering to manage his drug treatment and supervise his bail.
The court found that the new treatment plan, combined with the applicant's significant accumulated pre-trial custody, constituted a material change in circumstances.
The court ordered the applicant's release on strict house arrest with conditions tied directly to his drug treatment.
