Does that mean that dangerous offenders will automatically be released on bail?
A. No. If the custody time limit cannot be met the accused will be brought to court to have his entitlement to bail determined. Before that entitlement is considered the prosecutor has the right to apply to the court for an extension of the custody time limits. Only if that request is refused, or the prosecutor does not request an extension will the entitlement to bail arise.
