The accused brought an application for a change of venue in a criminal proceeding.
The written reasons for decision were subject to a publication order and therefore omitted from the publicly available decision.
However, the court issued an order under s. 599(1)(a) of the Criminal Code directing that the trial be moved from Barrie to another location.
The precise location of the trial was to be determined by the Regional Senior Justice pursuant to the protocol of the Council of Regional Senior Justices of the Superior Court of Ontario.
