1To obtain bail pending appeal under cl 4A of Part C, Sch 1 of the Bail Act 1982 (WA), an applicant must demonstrate a strongly arguable case on appeal giving rise to real concern that the applicant would suffer injustice by being kept in custody on the basis of an unsound conviction; something more than a reasonably arguable case must be shown.
2Difficulties experienced by a self-represented prisoner in accessing legal materials or facilities to prepare an appeal do not constitute 'exceptional reasons' for bail, though they may warrant extensions of time for filing.
3Inability to access a preferred form of medication in prison, where alternative treatment is available, does not amount to an exceptional reason justifying bail pending appeal.
