Once your Notice of Appeal has been filed, your lawyer can bring a motion for bail pending appeal. If you are appealing your conviction, the court will grant bail pending appeal if it is satisfied that:
There is a reasonable possibility that your appeal will succeed;
You will surrender yourself into custody in accordance with the terms of any release order issued; and
Your detention is not necessary in the public interest.
If you are only appealing your sentence, the court will grant bail pending appeal if it is satisfied that:
The appeal has a high enough chance of success that it would cause you unnecessary hardship to be kept in custody;
You will surrender yourself into custody in accordance with the terms of any release order issued; and
Your detention is not necessary in the public interest.
You will generally be required to provide the court with sureties: people who will promise to pay a certain amount of money to the court if you breach the conditions of your release. You will likely be asked to swear an affidavit setting out information such as where you have lived over the past three years, your criminal record, employment information and, in a sentence-only appeal, what unnecessary hardship you would suffer from being in custody while awaiting the hearing of your appeal.
