Peter Nygard leaves court in Toronto on Nov. 12, 2023, after being found guilty of 4 counts of sexual assault.
An Ontario court has declined to review a decision to deny Peter Nygard bail while the former fashion mogul appeals his sexual assault convictions and sentence. In a ruling released Friday, a Court of Appeal for Ontario judge said the judge who dismissed Nygard's bail application last month made no arguable errors in assessing his case.
They also argued the bail judge failed to appreciate the strength of one of the grounds for appeal related to the admission of expert testimony on the effects of trauma. Nygard's legal team is challenging both his conviction and sentence, arguing the trial judge made several errors, including admitting the expert evidence on trauma.
Nygard's lawyers argued last week that the report was prepared by a geriatric medicine specialist who examined Nygard for more than four hours. Nygard's lawyers argued Madsen misunderstood the proposal, and that the man who owns the Winnipeg residence wasn't meant to act as a surety but simply to confirm that the court could move on the $1 million property if Nygard breached the conditions of his bail.
