The applicant, an 18-year-old with no criminal record, sought a review of a detention order following his arrest for a gunpoint carjacking and firearms offences.
The reviewing judge admitted fresh evidence consisting of a more stringent release plan involving GPS monitoring and new disclosure weakening the Crown's case on the most serious charges.
The court found that the applicant's detention was not necessary to maintain confidence in the administration of justice under the tertiary ground and ordered his release on strict conditions, including house arrest and GPS monitoring.
