The Court of Criminal Appeal granted unconditional bail where the applicant's sentence appeal was pending, finding special or exceptional circumstances under s 22 of the Bail Act 2013 (NSW) existed because the Court had already indicated it would grant leave, allow the appeal, and re-sentence the applicant in terms not requiring further mandatory custody. No unacceptable risks under s 17 were identified given the applicant's compliance with prior bail conditions, lack of prior convictions, and age.
