R v Xi [2015] NSWSC 1575

R v Xi [2015] NSWSC 1575

The applicant established cause primarily through the severe disabilities and special needs of his son for whom he is the principal carer, a situation compounded by the inability of his elderly parents to provide adequate care. In combination with potential significant remand delay and stringent, enforceable bail conditions (including cash sureties and electronic monitoring), these factors satisfied the court that no unacceptable risk of flight or further offending warranted continued detention.
