Nygard’s legal team is set to appear before the Court of Appeal for Ontario today to argue that the motions judge made several errors in dismissing the 83-year-old’s bail application last month. The judge who rejected Nygard's bail application wrote at the time that his appeal appeared to be"weak" and that he presents a flight risk since he faces charges in other jurisdictions.
Nygard was found guilty of four counts of sexual assault last year after multiple women came forward with allegations dating from the 1980s until the mid-2000s.
