Bail in UK Law

Leading Cases
  • R v Jones (Robert) (No. 2)
    • Court of Appeal (Criminal Division)
    • 09 Marzo 1972

    To grant this application at this stage would, in the view of this Court, be to put a premium on prisoners jumping bail; it may even have the effect of encouraging others to do so. It may also have as a side effect, increasing the reluctance of a Court in a very long trial to grant bail lest Jones' conduct be repeated by others. The Applicant has brought this entirely on his own head, and he must now take the consequences.

  • Hurnam v State of Mauritius
    • Privy Council
    • 15 Diciembre 2005

    The seriousness of the offence and the severity of the penalty likely to be imposed on conviction may well, as pointed out at the beginning of this paragraph, provide grounds for refusing bail, but they do not do so of themselves, without more: they are factors relevant to the judgment whether, in all the circumstances, it is necessary to deprive the applicant of his liberty.

  • LP (LTTE area – Tamils – Colombo – risk?)
    • Asylum and Immigration Tribunal
    • 12 Abril 2007

    Much will depend on the evidence relating to the formality of the detention (or lack of it) and the manner in which the bribe was taken and the credibility of the total story. If the detention is an informal one, or it is highly unlikely that the bribe or “bail” has been officially recorded, then the risk level to the applicant is likely to be below that of a real risk.

  • B (Algeria) v Secretary of State for the Home Department (No 2)
    • Supreme Court
    • 08 Febrero 2018

    Paragraph 22 of Schedule 2 confers a power to release on bail in the case of three categories of person, namely a person detained under paragraph 16(1) pending examination, a person detained under paragraph 16(1A) pending completion of his examination or a decision on whether to cancel his leave to enter, and a person detained under paragraph 16(2) pending the giving of directions.

  • R (A) v Secretary of State for the Home Department
    • Court of Appeal (Civil Division)
    • 30 Julio 2007

    I accept the submission on behalf of the Home Secretary that where there is a risk of absconding and a refusal to accept voluntary repatriation, those are bound to be very important factors, and likely often to be decisive factors, in determining the reasonableness of a person's detention, provided that deportation is the genuine purpose of the detention. The risk of absconding is important because it threatens to defeat the purpose for which the deportation order was made.

  • R Asif Raza (Pakistan) v The Secretary of State for the Home Department
    • Court of Appeal (Civil Division)
    • 29 Julio 2016

    This is a time-honoured form of words to express the idea of surrendering to bail. Once a bailed person surrenders to his bail (whether to magistrates or the Crown Court in a criminal case or to an immigration officer in an immigration case) it is then for the person to whom he surrenders to re-fix bail, if he or she considers it appropriate to do so and to determine any appropriate conditions.

  • R v Secretary of State for the Home Department, ex parte Turkoglu
    • Court of Appeal (Civil Division)
    • 19 Mayo 1987

    I will now try and look at the problem overall, taking, first, the High Court. In my judgment you cannot apply to the High Court for bail unless the High Court is seized of some sort of proceeding. It may be seized of an application for leave to apply for judicial review or it may be seized of the substantive application. So long as it is seized of either of those applications, you can apply to the High Court and the court can grant or refuse bail.
