Application of this Act
4 Application of this Act
The operation of this Act extends to any appearance in a court for an offence —
except to the extent that in this Act, or in the law creating the offence or applicable thereto, express provision is made excluding or limiting the operation of this Act in respect of that appearance; and
whether or not that law contains a reference to the granting of bail; and
however any reference in that law to the granting of bail may be expressed; and
as if any reference therein to the taking of a recognizance were to a requirement that, except where bail is dispensed with under this Act, the accused enter into a bail undertaking.
