Bail Act 2000

Court bail - Granting of bail on adjournment

29: Defendant, if bailable as of right, to be brought before court on request

You could also call this:

"You can ask to go to court to apply for bail if you are allowed to be bailed."

Illustration for Bail Act 2000

You can ask to go to court to apply for bail if you are allowed to be bailed. This is if you were put in custody under section 168 of the Criminal Procedure Act 2011 and you did not ask for bail at that time. The court can then decide if you can have bail as if you had asked for it when you were first put in custody.
