R v Lalee [2024] NSWSC 1335

R v Lalee [2024] NSWSC 1335

The Court found that, despite the strength of the prosecution case and seriousness of the offences alleged, cause had been shown for bail due to the significant proposed bail conditions, family circumstances, difficulties suffered in custody, likelihood of delay, and the ability of proposed conditions to sufficiently mitigate bail concerns such that the risk was not unacceptable. Accordingly, bail was granted with strict conditions.
