The judge granted bail pending appeal because the Applicant was a proper bail risk and there were reasonable prospects of success on appeal based on a real arguable error that the learned Magistrate may have mischaracterised s41 as strict liability and confused burdens/standards of proof; coupled with the likelihood that a substantial portion of the 12‑month sentence would be served before appeal determination, justice required admission to bail.
