22 Among the major factors found to constitute exceptional circumstances have been the strength of the Crown case (where that may be sensibly assessed); the question of delay to committal and/or trial; and principles of parity (insofar as they are applicable to a bail application). As to the many other factors that courts have taken into account I use as examples only those cases cited in argument before this Court, which constitute but a representative sample. In DPP v Nguyen[9] the fact that the Magistrate had taken into account, in addition to issues of the strength of the Crown case, delay and parity, strong family support, stable accommodation, employment and low risk of flight or re-offending was accepted by the Judge without adverse comment. Similarly, in Commonwealth Director of Public Prosecutions v Banda[10] which was, like Nguyen, a Director's appeal, the Magistrate, in finding exceptional circumstances, took into account the family situation and the personal situation of the respondent, including his primary role in caring for his mother, a significant role in caring for a surrogate father with serious health problems, his provision of financial support for a former partner looking after their intellectually handicapped daughter, work commitments, a strong attachment to the State and a lack of any unacceptable risk that the respondent may abscond and/or commit further offences as relevant factors, quite apart from potential delay or the principle of parity. The Judge was not persuaded that the Magistrate's decision that there were exceptional circumstances was manifestly wrong. In the case of In the Matter of an Application for Bail by Andrea Mantase[11] such factors as lack of any prior criminal history, constant employment, an unlikelihood of absconding and the personal situation of the applicant's wife who had recently had a miscarriage, were factors which, together with likely delay, were found to constitute exceptional circumstances.
