The High Court, even at the pre-trial stage before the DPP's decision, should as far as possible impose similar bail conditions as those under Section 35 of the Economic and Organised Crime Control Act, 1984. The court rejected the argument that Section 35(3)(c) should not be considered, holding that consistency in bail conditions is necessary and the seriousness of the offence must be reflected at all stages.
