If you are an accused person remanded in custody before the date of your hearing, you may be able to apply for bail. This means that you may be released until you are required to attend court for your trial. Conditions will likely be imposed upon you during this time, and it is absolutely vital that you understand and adhere to them at all times. Our bail lawyers are highly experienced and will do everything possible to ensure you have a thorough understanding of your rights, options, and bail conditions. Get in touch with us today to find out more.
If an application for bail is made, and is unsuccessful, the proceedings will generally be adjourned to allow parties to prepare their cases and have the necessary paperwork ready for either summary proceedings or committal proceedings. There is an option for a subsequent bail application to be made, however, there are certain conditions that must be met so it is critical that a bail application is thoroughly prepared and presented properly the first time. To speak to expert bail lawyers, Perth locals should get in touch with us today.
Upon hearing a bail application, Magistrates Court will either grant or refuse bail. Whether or not a person will receive bail depends on a number of facts. The court will look at:
• The seriousness of the charge(s).
• The likely sentence, if convicted.
• The strength of the case.
• criminal record.
• The risk of reoffending.
• Whether there have been any previous breached of bail.
• The delay to trial.
• Whether a person is likely to interfere with witnesses.
• Whether any conditions can be put in place to alleviate any concerns the court or the prosecution may have.
