Can bail restrictions be lifted?
Who can change your bail conditions? Once you are released on bail, any variation to your bail conditions can only be made by a Judge, Magistrate or other authorised justice. Depending on which court your matter is in, you will need to apply to the relevant court for a variation of bail.
What is refused bail?
If you are refused bail in NSW, you will be required to remain in custody on remand while you await your trial. Time spent on remand will be taken into consideration and count towards any prison sentence you receive.
How do I change my bail conditions?
The first is to request the variation from the court, which granted you bail. The second is to appeal to a higher court for a change in your bail conditions. Your lawyer will prepare the relevant bail variation application for the court where you are applying for bail.
What happens when you go back to the police station after bail?
The Police will tell you which Police station to return to, and when. If you fail to comply, you risk being arrested and brought before a court, which might then decide to remand you in custody even though the threshold test for doing so was not previously met.
How many times can police bail you?
There is no limit to the number of times a person can be bailed without charge. The police are under an obligation to conduct investigations “diligently and efficiently” – those two obligations are at odds with one another, which means that the new time limit on bail has caused the police some real problems.
Can you be bailed if not charged?
Sometimes cash bail must be lodged with the court; at other times, a surety is all that’s required (that is, a promise to pay a sum of money if the person charged does not attend). The cash or surety may be lodged by you or an acceptable third party. Bail conditions should not be oppressive, nor beyond your means.
How long can you stay out on bond?
The duration ranges from 90 days to 120 days. But the court will still consider the nature of the crime and your criminal records before granting bail even under the state laws.
