I know it's something to do with people on remand and it lets them out of prison but I don't know who can apply for one and what it actually means.

A Judge is a high court or crown court judge. He or she sits at the front of the court and oversees all hearings including trials. It is a judges responsibility to determine a defendants sentence and whether or not they are on bail or in custody.
Chambers is the nickname give to the judges office at the court. It is also a name for the room where all the barristers work. You may hear a judge say "could counsel met me in chambers" This means can the barristers (the solicitors in the funny wigs) please come to my office.

Judges Chambers
2016-11-12 08:11:43 · answer #2 · answered by Anonymous · 0⤊ 0⤋
Judge in chambers is referred to when the judge and advocates hear a case without the presence of other officials or the two side (claimant and defendant/prosecution and defendant). Sometimes the hearing can be heard in a courtroom when their are a lot of advocates to hear and the normal chamber of the judge is insufficient. It is usual practice to hold a chambers hearing in the court in a bail application as bail can only be granted in open court. A chambers hearing is not restricted to bail applications. It is also accepted that no reporting of the outcome of such a hearing is made public, it is recorded but not reported.
From the content of you question you asume that this hearing will automatically grant bail, this is not always the case, as bail can be refused from a chambers hearing as it can be granted. This is no guarantee of bail.

Where a court has refused bail, it is possible for the lawyer of the accused to appear before a judge in Chambers (that means, in private, with no need for either to wear robes) to apply for bail. An ordinary individual can't do this and it is up to the lawyer to decide, in the light of all he or she knows about the case, whether it is a good idea or not.

Judge IN chambers means where there is a bail application, but the defendant (the person in prison) does not attend and the public cannot attend either. Neither does the jury. You can have 2 of them and no more, unless a change in circumstances has arrisen. You can apply for one by asking the defendant's solicitors.
