Security Requirements

Variation of Bail Conditions
- The accused can apply to the court to modify bail conditions, with applications made to the initial court or to the Crown Court after being sent for trial.
- The prosecution may also request variations in bail conditions, needing to notify the court and other parties two business days prior to the hearing.
