FAQ'S
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Clear answers to common questions about bail hearings and the release process in the Ontario criminal justice system.
01
A bail hearing is a court proceeding where a judge decides whether you should be released from custody while your case is ongoing. The Crown must show a valid reason to keep you detained. JT Defence Law advocates for release and proposes conditions that address Crown concerns.
02
Not always. Many people are released on their own recognizance, meaning no surety or property is required. If surety is needed, we can help you find suitable surety and ensure all requirements are met.
03
Courts consider factors such as the nature of the offence, your criminal record, your ties to the community, employment or school, family circumstances, past court attendances and any risk to public safety.Â
04
Yes. If your circumstances change or bail conditions are too restrictive, we can apply to have them varied or removed. We can present strong reason why the changes are appropriate and necessary.
05
If bail is denied, we can apply for review in a higher court. A review allows the judge to reconsider based on original record and any evidence or circumstances that support your release.
