Flynote

Criminal procedure — bail following conviction — principles applicable.

Headnote

In an application for bail following conviction the crux of the matter is, firstly, that the discretion to grant or refuse bail is vested in the court and, secondly, that in exercising this discretion the court must consciously endeavour to the best of its ability to put in balance the interests of the individual or his liberty and the interests of the administration of justice. The decision must not endanger the administration of justice whilst at the same time it must not frustrate the liberty of the individual. It is a very delicate balance indeed.
