A bail hearing is one of the most important steps in your case. 

If your friend or relative has been arrested, and are being held for a bail hearing knowing what is needed to secure their release is crucial. 

The crown may oppose their release on the primary, secondary or tertiary grounds. 

• primary: the accused will not attend court as required;

• secondary: there is a substantial likelihood the accused will commit further offences if they are released into the community;

• tertiary: it would bring the administration of justice into disrepute if the accused was released. 

Canadian Law states that even while being held for bail, an accused person enjoys a presumption of innocence, and ought to be released on the least onerous form of release, with the fewest conditions possible.

An accused has one chance at a bail hearing, and should they lose, be detained pending a bail review, a trial, or another resolution of their file.
