13A Jurisdiction in s. 7A to dispense with bail, who has and exercise of
Jurisdiction to dispense with the requirement for bail under section 7A for any appearance described in the first column of Schedule 1 Part A clause 2 or 3 is vested, subject to Schedule 1 Part B, in the judicial officer specified in the second column of that clause opposite that description, but Schedule 1 Part A clause 7 does not apply for the purposes of this subsection.
The jurisdiction referred to in subsection (1) is exercisable only —
in respect of an appearance in court before conviction for an offence; and
if it appears to the judicial officer that bail would be granted in accordance with Schedule 1 Part C clause 1 or 2 but that in the circumstances the completion of bail papers is an unnecessary imposition.
Where a judicial officer dispenses with the requirement for bail for an appearance by an accused the registrar of the court shall, in accordance with section 13B, give written notice to the accused of the time and place for the appearance.
