319: Rules as to granting bail
or “Learn about the rules for letting people out of jail before their trial”
You could also call this:

“You can be kept in a holding area while the papers for letting you go are being filled out and signed.”

This section of the law used to talk about keeping someone in detention while a bail bond was being prepared and signed. However, this part of the law no longer exists. It was removed on 1 January 2001 when changes were made to the bail laws in New Zealand. If you want to know more about bail, you should look at the current Bail Act, which has replaced this old section.
