"Applying for bail with an electronic monitor"

Illustration for Bail Act 2000

You can apply for bail with an Electronic Monitoring (EM) condition. You must use a special form that the Ministry of Justice approves. The court staff will set a hearing date and tell you, the Police, and the prosecutor when and where it is. You will get a notice about the hearing. You must give a copy of your application to the Police and the prosecutor as soon as possible. The Ministry of Justice is in charge of creating the application form for bail with an EM condition. The form is approved by the chief executive of the Ministry of Justice. They must also make the form available to the public. You can find more information about the law that created this rule in the Bail Amendment Act 2013.
