The appellant appealed a disposition of the Ontario Review Board ordering his continued detention at a secure forensic psychiatric unit.
He argued that the Board's findings that he remained a significant threat to public safety and that continued detention was the least restrictive option were unreasonable.
The Court of Appeal dismissed the appeal, holding that the Board's decision was reasonable and supported by psychiatric evidence and risk assessments.
The court deferred to the Board's expertise, finding a rational connection between the evidence of ongoing risk and the disposition ordered.
