Procedural Posture

Criminal Appeal / Bail Application Pending Appeal

  1. 1 Whether bail pending appeal should be granted
  2. 2 Whether the proposed appeal has a high or reasonable prospect of success
  3. 3 Whether a short remaining sentence justifies bail

Ratio Decidendi

The application for bail pending appeal is refused because the applicant failed to show a reasonable, let alone very high, prospect of success on appeal and relied on inadequate grounds (seeking time to find a lawyer and to prepare documents); the disputed financial amounts had been accepted previously with counsel, so exceptional circumstances do not exist.

Application for bail pending appeal refused.
