    Court
    Court of Appeal
    Case number
    CACC229/1992

    Bail pending appeal was granted because, on a balancing exercise under the Court's unfettered discretion (s.83R), the substantial period the applicant would have served by the time the appeal is determined, the likelihood of full remission, and the low risk of failure to surrender outweighed countervailing considerations; appropriate stringent conditions were imposed to protect the public interest and secure attendance.
