A former convict has lost his bid to collaterally attack a parole board residency condition that was made as part of a long-term supervision order, in a unanimous Supreme Court decision that marks the first time the high court has looked at the rules governing collateral attacks when a Charter breach is alleged.
In R. v. Bird, the majority of the Supreme Court found that Parliament did not intend to allow long-term offenders such as the appellant, Spencer Dean Bird, to launch collateral attacks on their long-term supervision orders in criminal proceedings. The Court also noted that the appellant had had several options to challenge the condition of his residency after release from prison, and that Parliament intended for long-term offenders to use these rather than indirectly attacking the condition after he had violated it.
The case was sent back to the provincial court in Saskatchewan to decide on a sentence.
