BREACH OF BAIL CONDITIONS

a. A person who has been released on bail may be arrested without warrant by a constable if the constable has reasonable grounds for believing that:

i. that person is likely to break any of the conditions of his or her bail; or

ii. that person has broken any of those conditions

b. A defendant arrested in accordance with the above provisions need not be granted bail.

c. Although (s)he is liable to arrest, a person who breaches his or her bail does not commit an offence.

d. Where a court is of the opinion that the defendant has broken, or is likely to break, any condition of bail the court may

i. refuse bail; or

ii. grant bail with the same or different conditions

e. The defendant should be asked whether (s)he admits or denies the breach. If the breach is denied the prosecution should call evidence.
