The Member, a Registered Practical Nurse, faced allegations of professional misconduct after being found guilty of criminal offences including fraud, identity theft, and possession of stolen credit cards belonging to vulnerable patients at two facilities.

The Member also failed to report these criminal charges and findings of guilt to the College.

The Member admitted to the allegations via an Agreed Statement of Facts.

The Discipline Committee found the Member committed professional misconduct and accepted a joint submission on penalty, ordering a 12-month suspension, a reprimand, and various conditions on the Member's certificate of registration.

The 16-year-old applicant was charged with second degree murder and attempted murder.

He was initially ordered detained solely on the tertiary ground under s. 515(10)(c) of the Criminal Code.

The applicant sought a review of the detention order.

The Court of Appeal found that the application judge erred by failing to consider releasing the youth to a responsible person under s. 31 of the Youth Criminal Justice Act.

Additionally, fresh evidence from the preliminary inquiry showed the Crown's case was less compelling than originally presented.

The Court granted the application and ordered the youth released into the care of his grandparents under strict conditions, including house arrest.
