DOING THE JAIL SHUFFLE: THE SUPREME COURT GRANTS LEAVE TO APPEAL IN THE BRIAN CONCEPTION CASE
In May 2012, amid increasing concern about the quality of Canada’s mental health system, the Ontario Court of Appeal ruled that hospitals can ignore judicial treatment orders and turn away mentally ill accused like Brian Conception. Last week, the Supreme Court of Canada granted Mr. Conception’s application for leave to appeal. Frank Addario represented Mr. Conception on the leave application and will represent him on the appeal.
