Illustration for Bail Act 2000

When you get Police bail, you must go to court at the time, date, and place stated in your notice of bail. A Police employee can add more conditions to your bail, like a judge might under section 30(2) or (4). This only happens if you have to go to court in less than 7 days or the court will be closed for more than 7 days after you were arrested.
