10 Effect of dispensing with bail
(1) While the requirement for bail is or is taken to be dispensed with
under this Act in respect of a person accused of an offence, the
accused person is entitled:
(a) to be released from custody and to remain at liberty in respect
of the offence; or
(b) to be released from the obligation to comply with a
non-custodial order in respect of the offence;
until the accused person is required to appear before a court in
respect of the offence.
(2) Subsection (1) does not apply to an accused person while the
accused person is also in custody or the subject of a non-custodial
order for some other offence or reason in respect of which the
accused person is not entitled (whether under this Act or otherwise)
to be at liberty or released.
