Why are you introducing bail at 80 days when that custody time limit can not be complied with?
A. At present if the 80 day custody time limit can not be met the accused is simply liberated. He becomes subject to the 12 month time limit. However, there is no obligation on the accused to give an address at which he may be cited to attend once the indictment is ready for service. By admitting the accused to bail there will be an address at which service of the indictment can be effected.
