Bail Act 1976?

Question

Can anyone tell me what this means.
Granted bail under the bail act 1976 under the provisions of section 34 5 7 police and criminal evidence act 1984.

Answer 1

It means that someone has been released from jail before their trial. The dates are really just legalese. It means they were identified and fingerprinted and released awaiting the trial for whatever crimes they are accused of. The legalese is really just court particulars and trivia. It is very frustrating dealing with court stuff isn't it. Everything is done in stupid ways!

5 In section 38(2A) of the Police and Criminal Evidence Act 1984 (bail granted

by custody officer after charge)—

(a) for “2” there is substituted “2(1)”, and

(b) after “1976” there is inserted “(disregarding paragraph 2(2) of that
30

Part)”.

Answer 4

PACE 1984 - UK law
In short a person is granted bail for the purposes of the police to gather further evidence. Once a person is arrested, they are interviewed. However there may not be enough evidence to charge. Therefore a person is bailed so that further statements can be obtained, CCTV checked, alibis checked etc. There is either conditional or unconditional bail.
Conditional bail would have certain restraints on a person. Eg, not contacting someone, not going to a certain place.
All persons on bail have an obligation to return to a specified police station at a future date and time. Failure to do so is a further offence for which the person will be arrested and prosecuted for. Hope that helps.

Answer 5

Don't know if this will help:

Conditional bail
Amendments to section 37 PACE will allow pre-charge bail, with or without conditions, to be imposed where cases are referred to Crown Prosecutors for charging decisions and it is appropriate to release the person on bail, refer to DPP's guidance to custody sergeants. A person may only be released on conditional bail before charge for the purpose of enabling a prosecutor to make a charging decision. Conditional bail before charge is not permitted when a person is bailed pending further investigation under section 34(5) PACE.


The only thing that I am not sure about is that 7 in your questions - PACE - police and criminal evidence act!

Good luck

Answer 6

Under current law, a defendant has the right to bail unless there is sufficient reason not to grant it. The main reasons for refusing bail according to the Bail Act 1976 are that there are substantial grounds for believing that the defendant (1) will abscond; (2) will commit further offences whilst on bail; or (3) will interfere with witnesses. Conditions may be applied to the grant of bail, such as living at a particular address or, rarely, paying an amount into court or having someone act as surety. Release on bail is sometimes referred to as police bail, where the release was by the police rather than by a court. The alternative to being granted bail is being remanded into custody (also called being held on remand).

In 1984 Congress replaced the Bail Reform Act of 1966 with new bail law, codified at United States Code, Title 18, Sections 3141-3150. The main innovation of the new law is that it allows pre-trial detention of individuals based upon their danger to the community; under prior law and traditional bail statutes in the U.S., pre-trial detention was to be based solely upon the risk of flight.

18 USC 3142(f) provides that only persons who fit into certain categories are subject to detention without bail: persons charged with a crime of violence, an offense for which the maximum sentence is life imprisonment or death, certain drug offenses for which the maximum offense is greater than 10 years, repeat felony offenders, or if the defendant poses a serious risk of flight, obstruction of justice, or witness tampering. There is a special hearing held to determine whether the defendant fits within these categories; anyone not within them must be admitted to bail.
