The Attorney General of Canada sought the extradition of the respondent to the USA for attempted break and enter.
The respondent was previously found unfit to stand trial due to tertiary syphilis causing dementia.
The court held an inquiry under s. 672.851(4) of the Criminal Code to determine whether a stay of proceedings should be ordered.
The court accepted the defence expert's opinion that the respondent was permanently unfit, did not pose a significant threat to public safety, and that a stay was in the interests of the proper administration of justice.
The extradition proceedings were stayed.
