Judicial review of security reclassification allowed in part due to unreasonable assessment of escape risk.
The applicant, an inmate serving a life sentence, sought judicial review of CSC decisions raising his security classification to medium and transferring him to a medium security institution.
He challenged the refusal of a 10-day extension to make written representations before transfer, the raising of his public safety risk, and the raising of his escape risk.
The Federal Court found the refusal of the extension and the moderate public safety risk rating reasonable, but set aside the escape risk rating determination for improperly relying on assumptions unsupported by the inmate's history, referring that portion back for redetermination.
