58DG Seeking discharge from undertaking to give security
(1) A person who has made a third party security undertaking in relation to the accused’s bail may apply to the Court to be discharged from the person’s liability under that undertaking. (2) If: (a) the person so applies; and (b) at the time of applying, the accused has not failed to appear before the Court in accordance with the accused’s bail undertaking; the Court must direct that the person be discharged from this liability, unless satisfied it would be contrary to the interests of justice to do so.
Note: A direction will cause a reconsideration of the accused’s bail (see Division 3).
