Bail

[Happy2408]

Hi all when you get bail is it automatically giving if been on bail before this Friday they are at crown court for ptph he was told some bail some one had to be a guarantee for u and have to pay money down is this right or is bail giving automatically

[New Judge]

In general bail is a right unless it can be shown that, if released, the defendant is likely to:

1. Abscond (i.e. not turn up for his next hearing)
2. Interfere with the course of justice (particularly witnesses)
3. Commit further offences.

If bail has already been granted it is very unusual for it to be withdrawn unless the defendant changes his behaviour and leads the court to believe he might do one of the above.

Sureties and securities (the promise or deposit of money) are seldom used in UK courts to secure bail.

Where are you? Someone haveing to put up a deposit or bail bond does not normally happen in the UK as NJ says. Are you in the USA as it is common there.

[Happy2408]

Uk

[Jackdaw33]

Can't be US as he mentions Crown Court.

[EDDIE51]

As it's UK, New Judge's answer is correct. Plus you were given good advice on your first thread.
