Bail was granted because, applying the statutory bail factors, the prolonged and unreasonable period of remand relative to the non-violent nature and likely sentence for the charged offences, together with the applicants' ability to comply with stringent bail conditions, rebutted reasons to refuse bail; courts may take into account the merits of a non-refoulement claim where the information before the court permits assessment, but delay in processing is a proper factor favouring bail.
