Bail Hearing
Securing bail is often the first and most critical step after an arrest. With our legal assistance, we’re here to help you or your loved one present the strongest possible case for bail review and avoid unnecessary time in custody.
Bail Hearing
A bail hearing is a judicial process where a judge or justice of the peace determines whether an accused individual should be released from custody while awaiting trial. Under Canadian law, individuals have the right to a bail hearing within 24 hours of arrest or as soon as possible thereafter. The primary purpose of this bail review is to assess whether the accused poses a flight risk, a danger to the public, or if their release would undermine public confidence in the justice system. Legal assistance can be crucial during this process to ensure that the rights of the accused are protected.
What is Bail Review?
A bail review is a legal procedure that allows the accused or the Crown to challenge the initial bail decision. When new evidence comes to light or if there are significant changes in circumstances, a higher court may conduct a bail review to reassess the conditions of release or detention. This process ensures that individuals receive fair and just legal assistance throughout the legal proceedings.
During The Bail Hearing, What Does the Court Consider?
Primary Grounds: Whether the accused is likely to attend future court appearances is a critical factor in a bail review. Secondary Grounds: The potential risk the accused poses to public safety if released is also a significant concern. Tertiary Grounds: Additionally, it must be considered whether releasing the accused would decrease public confidence in the justice system, particularly in cases involving serious offences. These considerations ensure a balance between the rights of the accused and the safety and confidence of the public, highlighting the importance of legal assistance in navigating these complex issues.
