Thank you.
I thought of one thing in listening to the other questions and answers.
On the delay aspect, I take what you said with regard to the criminal records being presented, and that should happen as the normal course. With regard to one of the grounds that you're adding, and that is, “to show the circumstances of the alleged offence, particularly as they relate to the probability of conviction of the accused,” that evidence would now need to be presented to the court. It's not a suggested thing.
I would see this ground as being the one that would perhaps cause more delay, because the extent to which that evidence needs to be adduced could be different case by case. In some circumstances, it could require extensive evidence to satisfy the court as to whether the probability of conviction of the accused would happen. If a police officer weren't available, perhaps the bail hearing would have to be set over. It's this ground that I would see being problematic with regard to delay, more so than the criminal record being adduced or failures to appear.
Can you comment on that?
