You have a right to apply for bail before a Bail Justice at the police station. If the Bail Justice refuses bail, you will be taken to the Magistrates’ Court where the police will apply to remand you in custody. You will also have an opportunity to apply to be released on bail at this hearing.
If someone you know has been held in custody after being interviewed by police, contact us immediately. We can either speak to, or see your friend/relative in custody and start working with them to commence an application for bail as quickly as possible. For more information on bail, click here.
