There are four possible outcomes under the Act: Release without bail Dispensing with bail requirements Granting bail, with or without conditions Refusing bail To receive bail, you must satisfy the court that your release will not pose a risk to public safety or the integrity of the case. For more serious charges, you may also need to demonstrate why detention is not justified. If the court accepts that reason, it then considers general eligibility for bail.
