Bail Application During Appeal

If you are currently imprisoned while appealing a conviction or sentence, you have the option to apply for bail as the appellate court reviews your case. The process for seeking bail during your appeal is similar to standard bail applications, but with an additional requirement: you must show the appellate court a compelling reason for your release on bail.

Demonstrating Compelling Reasons for Bail

1. Brief Custodial Sentence: If your original sentence is short enough that it could be served before your appeal is resolved.


2. Strong Appeal Prospects: If your appeal has a high likelihood of success due to clear errors or weaknesses in the initial trial proceedings.
