WHAT DO I NEED TO PROVE IN ORDER TO BE GRANTED BAIL?
The laws relating to bail applications in Victoria are complex, and there are different tests that the court will apply in determining whether bail should be granted. The tests applicable to your case will depend on the seriousness of the charges against you, your previous bail history, and your criminal record.
The starting point in the law is that it is presumed that every person has the right to be released on bail. That is, unless you fall under the category of having to “show compelling reasons” or “exceptional circumstances”. This will depend on the type of offence you have been charged with.
Bail will also be refused if the court is satisfied that you pose an unacceptable risk of: committing offences whilst on bail; failing to answer bail; interfering with witnesses or obstructing the course of justice; or endangering the safety or welfare of members of the public.
Our lawyers are experienced in making successful bail applications in the most difficult of cases and successfully making further applications for bail where others have been unsuccessful. The reason for this is that our lawyers will work hard and diligently to thoroughly prepare your application for bail, from preparing powerful legal submissions to working tirelessly with you and your family to ensure that we obtain as much supportive material as possible to maximise the chances of securing your freedom.
