The applicant sought habeas corpus relief arguing that his custodial sentence had been fully satisfied due to an alleged ambiguity in the Warrant of Committal regarding whether one count was consecutive or concurrent.
Correctional Service Canada initially interpreted the sentence as four years but later corrected the calculation to six years after clarification from the sentencing judge.
The court held that the sentencing reasons clearly imposed a six‑year custodial sentence after credit for pre‑sentence custody and that the amended warrant merely clarified the intended sentence.
The correction did not amount to an impermissible reconsideration of sentence and did not violate the applicant’s Charter rights.
The application for habeas corpus was therefore dismissed.
