The applicant, facing two sets of charges for trafficking crystal methamphetamine, sought a review of his detention order under s. 520 of the Criminal Code.
The court found a material change in circumstances based on a newly proposed surety (the applicant's brother) and a strict 24/7 house arrest plan.
Despite the applicant allegedly committing the second set of offences while on bail for the first, the court concluded the new supervision plan, which included a monitored alarm system and relocation to a different city, sufficiently mitigated the substantial likelihood of re-offending.
The application was granted and the applicant was released on a recognizance.
