The Court of Criminal Appeal has no jurisdiction to hear a bail (release) application where the applicant's appeal documents have been filed out of time and no extension of time has been granted, as there are no 'substantive proceedings pending' within the meaning of ss 59 and 61 of the Bail Act 2013 (NSW). The Registrar's case management of appeal materials does not confer or affect the court's bail jurisdiction.
