The appellant appealed a disposition of the Ontario Review Board ordering his continued detention in a medium secure unit.
He argued the Board erred by failing to explore alternate treatment options, that the process was unconstitutional, and that the disposition was unreasonable.
The Court of Appeal dismissed the appeal, finding no impasse in treatment, noting the Supreme Court of Canada has upheld the constitutionality of the process, and concluding the disposition was reasonable given the appellant's lack of insight into his schizophrenia, history of violence, and the resulting risk to the public.
