In addition to the court’s general powers in relation to bail

(a)under section 3(8) of the Bail Act 1976(6), on application by either party the court may impose a bail condition or vary a condition it has imposed. Until the Crown Court makes its first bail decision in the case, a magistrates’ court may vary a condition which it imposed on committing or sending a defendant for Crown Court trial.

(b)under section 5B of the Bail Act 1976(7), where the defendant is on bail and the offence is one which can be tried in the Crown Court, or in an extradition case, on application by the prosecutor a magistrates’ court may withdraw bail, impose conditions of bail or vary the conditions of bail.

Under Part IIA of Schedule 1 to the Bail Act 1976(8), if the court withholds bail then at the first hearing after that the defendant may support an application for bail with any argument as to fact or law, whether or not that argument has been advanced before. At subsequent hearings, the court need not hear arguments which it has heard previously.]

(3) The application must—

(a)specify—

(i)live and sleep at a specified place, or away from a specified place,

(ii)give a surety or a security,

(iii)stay indoors between specified hours,

(iv)comply with electronic monitoring requirements, or

(v)make no contact with a specified person; and

(b)the magistrates’ court has determined an application by either party to vary that condition.

In an extradition case, where a magistrates’ court withholds bail or imposes bail conditions, on application by the defendant the High Court may grant bail, or vary the conditions, under section 22 of the Criminal Justice Act 1967(11). For the procedure in the High Court, see Schedule 1 to the Civil Procedure Rules 1998 (RSC Order 79)(12).]

(ii)the Crown Court officer, and

(iii)the magistrates’ court officer

before the hearing of the appeal begins; but

(b)after the hearing of the appeal begins, may only abandon the appeal with the Crown Court’s permission.

(10) The court officer for the court which has granted bail must instruct the defendant’s custodian to release the defendant on the bail granted by that court, subject to any condition or conditions of bail imposed, if—

[Note. See section 1 of the Bail (Amendment) Act 1993(13). The time limit for serving an appeal notice is prescribed by section 1(5) of the Act. It may be neither extended nor shortened.

For the procedure in the High Court, see Schedule 1 to the Civil Procedure Rules 1998 (RSC Order 79, rule 9) and the Practice Direction which supplements that Order. Under those provisions, the prosecutor must file in the High Court, among other things
