A
Supreme Court bail application will normally be made after bail
has been refused by a police offer after the arrest and charge
process, and thereafter by a magistrate in the Local Court, or
layer by a judge in the District Court.
Also known as a 'release application', the mechanism
seeks to have a person released from custody on certain bail
conditions, which may include reporting to a police station between
certain hours on specified days of the week, surrendering their
passport so as to make it more difficult to travel abroad,
refraining from contacting particular persons such as the
complainant or witnesses, not entering certain places and/or having
a surety deposit an amount of security to the court.
