Le pouvoir du juge de modifier une ordonnance de probation sert à s'adapter aux circonstances imprévues, mais ne remplace pas le droit d'appel de l'accusé

R. v. Etifier, 2009 BCCA 292

Lien vers la décision

[7]               Section 732.2(3) is designed to give the sentencing court jurisdiction to make changes in probation orders to accommodate unforeseen developments, changes in circumstances, and the accused’s ongoing needs and capacities. While it grants the sentencing judge very broad discretion to change a probation order, its focus is on allowing the court to monitor and adjust the order as new information comes to light, or as circumstances develop. It is not designed to replace the right of an accused person to appeal if he or she considers a probation order that has been imposed to be outside the sentencing judge’s discretion, or otherwise unlawful.
