The applicant sought a review under s. 680 of the Criminal Code of a decision denying her bail pending appeal.
Fresh evidence admitted at the hearing confirmed that the applicant's sentence on the matters under appeal would expire in three days.
The court dismissed the application as moot, noting that even if successful, a bail order could not realistically be implemented before the sentence expired.
The court rejected the applicant's argument that the underlying bail decision would prejudice future bail applications, clarifying that bail pending appeal decisions apply a different standard and do not bind future original bail hearings.
