A bail hearing is a court proceeding where a judge or a justice of the peace decides whether you should be released from custody or detained until your trial. The purpose of a bail hearing is to determine if you pose a risk of:
The Crown prosecutor has the burden of proving that there are reasonable grounds to believe that detaining you is necessary for the public interest. The judge or justice of the peace will consider various factors, such as:
There are three main types of bail hearings in Canada:
This is where you must prove why you should be released. This applies to certain offences, such as murder, terrorism, firearm offences, drug trafficking, etc., or if you are already on bail for another offence. A reverse onus bail hearing is more difficult to win than a regular bail hearing.
This is where the Crown agrees to release you on certain conditions without a contested hearing. This may happen if the Crown does not have strong grounds to oppose your release or if you have a good lawyer who can negotiate with the Crown on your behalf. A consent bail hearing is usually faster and easier than a contested bail hearing.
This is where the Crown opposes your release and argues that you should be detained. You or your lawyer will have to present evidence and arguments to counter the Crown’s position and persuade the judge or justice of the peace that you should be released. A contested bail hearing is usually longer and more complex than a consent bail hearing.
