The Crown brought a bail review application seeking to detain the accused, who had been released by a justice of the peace on charges including robbery with weapons.
The Superior Court found that the justice of the peace erred in principle by inadequately considering the gravity of the offences, the accused's lack of connection to the jurisdiction, and his history of failing to attend court.
Conducting a de novo hearing, the court ordered the accused detained on the primary, secondary, and tertiary grounds under section 515(10) of the Criminal Code.
