This section of the law, called ‘Rules as to granting bail’, used to be part of the Crimes Act 1961. However, it no longer exists. The government removed this section on 1 January 2001. They did this when they made changes to the Bail Act 2000. This means that if you want to know about the rules for granting bail now, you need to look at other parts of the law instead of this section.
