Crimes Act 1961

Procedure - Bail

319B: Variation of conditions of bail

You could also call this:

“Changing the rules about when someone can leave jail before their trial”

This part of the law about bail conditions has been removed. It used to be called ‘Variation of conditions of bail’ and was numbered 319B in the Crimes Act 1961. The government took it out of the law on 1 January 2001. They did this when they made changes to the rules about bail in a new law called the Bail Act 2000.
