What Can I Do If I Did Not Make Bail?
Unless you are under 18 [see Youth Court/Young Offenders], you only get once chance to seek bail, which is why it has to be handled by a lawyer with the skill and experience to do it properly. If you are unfortunate enough to be detained in custody following an unsuccessful bail hearing, you have three options:
Apply to the Crown for a consent release where there is a material change in circumstances (rare);
Apply to the court for a special bail hearing at the conclusion of a preliminary inquiry [see The Court Process];this is rare and only takes place in serious indictable matters where there is a material change in circumstances;
Apply to the Superior Court for a “bail review” (time-consuming and expensive: see above).
