Our client was granted bail at Wollongong Local Court in a challenging matter involving an alleged offence of possessing a prohibited firearm while already subject to an Intensive Correction Order for the same offence. The application presented a significant legal hurdle, as it was a show cause matter, requiring the defence to demonstrate why the client’s detention was not justified. Despite the serious nature of the allegations and the prosecution’s strong opposition to bail, our team presented submissions in support of the application, and bail was successfully granted. This result highlights the importance of carefully prepared bail applications, persuasive legal submissions and a thorough consideration of the individual circumstances of each case, even where the prospects of securing bail may be particularly challenging.
