The applicant sought a bail review under s. 520 of the Criminal Code to modify a no-contact condition, seeking limited access to his children.
The applicant faced serious charges including sexual assault, assault with a weapon, and uttering death threats, with some allegations involving the children.
The court dismissed the application as premature, holding that the family court is the appropriate forum to determine child access based on the best interests of the children.
The court noted that a future family court order granting access could constitute a material change in circumstances justifying a renewed bail review application.
