Gladue principles apply to bail

Although commonly assumed, the recent Court of Appeal decision in R. v. Robinson, 2009 ONCA 205 is helpful for expressly stating Gladue principles apply in judicial interim release proceedings.

The Court writes:

[13]          It is common ground that principles enunciated in the decision of the Supreme Court of Canada in R. v. Gladue, [1999] 1 S.C.R. 688, have application to the question of bail.
