The applicant sought a bail review under s. 520 of the Criminal Code after being detained on secondary grounds.
The court found a material change in circumstances due to charge withdrawals/amendments and new disclosure, allowing a fresh consideration of bail.
However, the proposed new release plan, including a new surety, was deemed insufficient to mitigate the substantial likelihood of re-offending, given the seriousness and repetition of the charges, the applicant's history of non-compliance with release orders, and the surety's lack of insight and inadequate supervision plan.
The court also noted an error by the original Justice of the Peace in failing to consider the tertiary ground, but ultimately dismissed the bail review application, affirming continued detention on secondary grounds.
