IN THE MATTER OF: GEOFFREY LE FEUVRE
AN APPEAL UNDER PART XX.1 OF THE CODE
Geoffrey Le Feuvre, appearing in person
Anita Szigeti, amicus curiae
Karen Shai, for the respondent
Heard: November 26, 2012
On appeal against the disposition of the Ontario Review Board dated, February 7, 2012.
APPEAL BOOK ENDORSEMENT
1In our view, the Board’s decision was both reasonable and based on the evidence before it.
2Although the Board did not agree with his recommendation, Dr. Woodside’s evidence is a more than sufficient basis for an expert Board such as this to conclude that their order represented the least onerous, least restrictive disposition for the appellant at this time.
3Nor was there any basis given that conclusion, for the Board to engage in an inquiry into what might happen beyond the year to which their decision applies. If the appellant can meet Dr. Woodside’s expectations, this will be important for the Board’s next annual hearing of his case, which is only several months away.
4The appeal must be dismissed.
