The accused, facing charges of criminal harassment and breach of recognizance, was detained on the secondary ground and later found unfit to stand trial.
After treatment, he was detained in hospital on a keep fit order under s. 672.29 of the Criminal Code.
On a 90-day detention review under s. 525, a preliminary issue arose regarding the Superior Court's jurisdiction to hear the review given the concurrent keep fit order.
The court held that it has jurisdiction to conduct the s. 525 review, but any decision to release under s. 525 would not affect the continuing validity of the separate s. 672.29 detention order.
The court ultimately dismissed the s. 525 review, finding detention continued to be justified.
