Tuesday’s bail hearing in the Manitoba Court for Peter Nygård, who is facing charges of sexual misconduct in the U.S., resulted in adjournment until Jan. 19 and 20.
Prior to the court hearing, Nygård had been deemed a potential flight risk. After the apparel magnate spent two weeks in a Winnipeg jail, his legal team filed a bail application on Dec. 31. The attorney general of Canada is representing the U.S. in the extradition process. Scott Farlinger represented the attorney general of Canada at Tuesday’s hearing, during which he requested a special sitting date to “be provided a reasonable amount of time to respond to the material that has been provided, some as recently as Monday afternoon, and [an additional affidavit] yesterday morning.”
