Part 7: Legal Aid, etc.
Section 83: Legal aid for certain bail applications
This section ensures that an accused person who has been granted a criminal aid certificate for proceedings before the magistrates’ court will continue to get free legal aid not only for any bail application heard in the magistrates’ court but also for a repeat bail application made in the Crown Court. For an accused person who has been granted a criminal aid certificate for proceedings before the Crown Court, this certificate will now include free legal aid not only for any bail application in the Crown Court but also for any compassionate bail application made in the magistrates’ court.
