In any case referred to in section 168(1) of the Criminal Procedure Act 2011 (which relates to dealing with a defendant on adjournment), a judicial officer may grant the defendant bail under this section.

A Registrar may exercise the power conferred by subsection (1) to grant bail if the prosecutor agrees.

If the defendant is granted bail under section 27 but the defendant is not released within the period specified in section 31(3)(a), a judicial officer or Registrar may—

A defendant who is bailable as of right must, if the defendant so requests, be brought before a court for the purpose of making an application for bail if—

The application may be granted as if it were an application made at the time at which the defendant was remanded.

If bail is granted under this section, the particulars required to be certified by the judicial officer or Registrar under section 28(b) must be certified in writing by the court granting bail, and forwarded to the prison manager of the prison in which the defendant is detained under the remand warrant.

Subject to sections 31 and 40, if a defendant is granted bail, the defendant must be released on condition that the defendant attend personally—

A judicial officer or Registrar may impose, as further conditions of the defendant’s release,—

However, a Registrar must not impose an EM condition under subsection (2)(a) unless the prosecution agrees.

When considering bail pending sentencing, a judicial officer or Registrar may impose any condition that the judicial officer or Registrar considers reasonably necessary to ensure that the defendant takes the steps necessary for the proceedings to be progressed within a reasonable timeframe.

Whether or not the judicial officer or Registrar imposes a condition under subsection (2) or (3), the judicial officer or Registrar may impose any other condition that the judicial officer or Registrar considers reasonably necessary to ensure that the defendant—

However, a Registrar must not impose a drug or alcohol condition under subsection (4) unless the defendant consents to the condition being imposed.

Despite subsection (4), the judicial officer or Registrar must not require as a further condition of the defendant’s release the deposit of any sum or the entering into of any obligation in the nature of a bond, guarantee, or surety, whether by the defendant or any other person.

Subsection (5) does not apply if bail is granted by the High Court.

This section applies if a judicial officer or Registrar imposes a drug or alcohol condition on a defendant under section 30(4) (alone or with any of sections 40(4), 53(4), and 54(4)).

The judicial officer or Registrar cannot direct, indicate, or require that the defendant undergo or submit to drug or alcohol testing or continuous monitoring, but the condition requires the defendant to comply with all requirements arising from an authorised person giving the defendant notice under section 30T(1).

The judicial officer or Registrar must advise the defendant that the defendant must do any 1 or more of the following things if required to do so by notice given to the defendant by an authorised person under section 30T(1):

To avoid doubt, this section does not apply to a defendant who has been granted Police bail with a drug or alcohol condition.

The purpose of an EM condition is to restrict and monitor a defendant’s movements to ensure that the defendant—

A court may grant bail with an EM condition if the defendant—

A defendant is eligible for bail with an EM condition if the defendant—

Nothing in this section limits the discretion of a court to remand the defendant in custody if there is just cause for continued detention.

For the purposes of the grant of bail with an EM condition, court includes a Registrar in any circumstance in which a Registrar is empowered to grant bail.

A court must not grant bail with an EM condition if the court considers that a less restrictive condition or combination of conditions would be sufficient to ensure the outcomes set out in section 30A(a) to (c).

An application for bail with an EM condition must be in a form approved and issued under subsection (4).

On receiving the application, the Registrar must set the matter down for a hearing and notify the defendant, the Police, and the prosecuting agency (if not the Police) of the date, time, and place of the hearing.

The defendant must, as soon as practicable after receiving a notice of the hearing, serve a copy of the application on—

The chief executive of the Ministry of Justice must approve and publish a form for an application for bail with an EM condition.

The Minister of Justice, in consultation with the Minister of Police and the Minister of Corrections, may, by notice in writing, nominate 1 or both of the following as the person or persons responsible for the management of EM bail:

The person or persons nominated under subsection (1) are responsible for the management of EM bail and may authorise their respective employees to act as EM assessors.

The Minister of Justice may make a nomination under subsection (1) from time to time, and, in consultation with the Minister of Police and the Minister of Corrections, may revoke a nomination by notice in writing to the person concerned.

If a defendant applies under section 30D for bail with an EM condition, the court or a Registrar may direct that an EM assessor prepares an EM report in relation to the application or, if satisfied that a previous EM report is sufficient, may direct that the previous EM report be used in relation to the application.

The purpose of an EM report is to assist the court hearing the application in determining whether an EM condition is practicable and appropriate.

An EM report must address all of the following matters:

An EM report may address any of the following matters:

In preparing an EM report in relation to an application under section 30D, an EM assessor must ascertain, after following the steps set out in subsection (2), whether the relevant occupants consent to the defendant remaining at the EM address while on bail with an EM condition.

Before ascertaining whether or not a relevant occupant consents, the EM assessor must—

The uses to which information obtained for the purpose of preparing an EM report under section 30F may be put are the following:

EM information may not be used except in accordance with subsection (1).

The court hearing an application made under section 30D must, before granting bail with an EM condition, be satisfied that—

In considering whether to grant bail with an EM condition, the court—

In granting bail with an EM condition, a court must specify the EM address.

An EM assessor must define the area of an EM address to which a defendant on bail with an EM condition is confined.

An EM assessor who defines the area of an EM address under subsection (1) must—

A defendant who is on bail with an EM condition must—

A breach by a defendant of an obligation under subsection (1) is a breach of the EM condition.

A court may, when granting bail with an EM condition, authorise the defendant to be absent from the EM address.

However, a Registrar may authorise a defendant to be absent from the EM address only if the prosecution agrees to that authorisation.

In authorising a defendant to be absent from the EM address, the court must specify—

If the EM address becomes unsuitable or unavailable through a change of circumstances (including the withdrawal of consent of a relevant occupant),—

Subsection (1)(b) does not apply if, within 5 working days after approval of the temporary EM address, the defendant makes an application under section 33(1)(a) or 34(1)(a) for a variation of the EM address.

The defendant must remain at the temporary EM address pending the determination of the application for variation, and section 30L(1)(b) to (g), and (2) apply as if the temporary EM address was the EM address.

If, in the opinion of the EM assessor, there is no suitable temporary EM address available, the EM assessor must notify the Police and the defendant without delay, and the defendant must surrender himself or herself to Police custody.

Information that is obtained from the electronic monitoring of a defendant on bail with an EM condition may be used for the purpose set out in section 30A and for any of the following purposes:

A court that grants bail with an EM condition may postpone the commencement of the bail and remand the defendant in custody for a period reasonably necessary for—

A defendant on bail with an EM condition is not in custody.

The fact that a defendant is on bail with an EM condition does not, of itself, affect any entitlement the defendant may have under the Social Security Act 1964.

Nothing in this Act prevents a defendant, who has previously applied for bail without an EM condition and been refused, from subsequently applying for bail with an EM condition on the same charges.

An authorised person may, by notice given to a defendant who is on bail (other than Police bail) with a drug or alcohol condition, require the defendant to do any 1 or more of the following:

An authorised person exercising that person’s discretion under subsection (1)—

A notice given to a defendant under subsection (1)(b) may include a requirement that the defendant comply with instructions specified in the notice that are reasonably necessary for the effective administration of the continuous monitoring (for example, an instruction to charge the monitoring device regularly or protect it from events, such as submersion in water, that may damage it or interfere with its functioning).

An automated system specified in a notice given under subsection (1)(c) must include an automated selection method that determines, in any manner consistent with rules made under section 73AA(1)(b) (including randomly), whether a defendant is required to undergo testing.

In this section and in sections 30U to 30X, authorised person means a person who is—

An authorised person may give a defendant a notice under section 30T(1) in any of the following ways:

An automated system must, in response to a defendant contacting it as required by a notice given under section 30T(1)(c) and subsection (1), give the defendant a spoken or written response notice specifying whether the defendant is required to undergo testing.

A notice given by an authorised person under subsection (1)(c), or a response notice that is given by an automated system under subsection (2) and that requires a defendant to undergo testing, must specify the name and location of a testing facility to which the defendant is required to report to undergo testing, and the time or times when the defendant is required to report, under section 30V.

Subsection (1) applies even if the place where the defendant is given notice personally by the authorised person is—

However, a defendant cannot be required to undergo a prescribed testing procedure in a place specified in subsection (2)(a) or (b) if the testing procedure involves the collection of blood or urine.

A defendant given notice personally (in writing or orally) by the authorised person may be required by the authorised person, if subsection (3) applies or if it is not reasonably practicable to require the defendant to undergo testing at the place where the defendant is given notice, to accompany the authorised person to any other place where it is likely that it will be reasonably practicable for the defendant to undergo testing.

A defendant given a notice under section 30U(1)(c) or (2) that requires the defendant to undergo testing is required to report to the testing facility whose name and location are specified in the notice, at the time or times specified, to undergo testing.

If a court or Registrar has, in granting bail to any defendant, imposed the condition that the defendant report to the Police at such time or times and at such place or places as the court or Registrar orders, any Registrar may, on the application of the defendant, make an order varying the time or times or the place or places at which the defendant is required to so report.

If the District Court or a Registrar varies or revokes any condition of bail or substitutes or imposes any other condition of bail under subsection (1), the following provisions apply:

No application may be made under subsection (1) or (2) in respect of a bail bond that has been entered into in any case where sureties are required, unless the sureties to the bail bond have consented to the making of the application.

A defendant on bail with an EM condition—

The Police must bring a defendant on bail with an EM condition who surrenders himself or herself to Police custody before a judicial officer at the earliest opportunity.

If a defendant on bail with an EM condition who is under the age of 17 years surrenders himself or herself to Police custody, sections 234(c), 235, and 236 of the Oranga Tamariki Act 1989 apply with any necessary modifications.

A defendant who is arrested under subsection (1) must,—

In any such case, the judicial officer, on being satisfied that the defendant had absconded or was about to abscond or has contravened or failed to comply with any condition of bail, must reconsider the question of bail.

After a defendant has been arrested under subsection (1), the defendant cannot be bailed as of right and is bailable only under section 7(5).

This section does not apply if section 36 applies.

Nothing in this section prevents a constable from seeking a warrant to arrest a defendant under section 37.

If a defendant has been released on bail under section 16, any constable may arrest the defendant without warrant if—

If a defendant who has been released on bail at any time fails to comply with any condition of bail, a judicial officer may certify on the notice of bail or, as the case may require, the bail bond the non-performance of that condition.

A certificate given by a judicial officer under subsection (1) is, in the absence of proof to the contrary, sufficient evidence for the purposes of sections 24 and 38 that the defendant has failed to comply with the condition of the notice of bail or bail bond specified in the certificate.

In addition to the certification described in subsection (1), if a defendant who has been released on bail at any time fails to comply with any condition of bail, without reasonable excuse, a judicial officer must direct the Registrar that the nature of the condition and the non-performance of the condition be entered in the court record kept in accordance with section 184 of the Criminal Procedure Act 2011.

Despite subsection (3), the judicial officer may decide not to direct that the failure to comply be entered in the court record if in the judicial officer’s opinion the failure to comply is of such a minor nature that it does not warrant being taken into account when considering an application for bail from the defendant on a subsequent occasion.

A failure to comply with any condition of bail that is entered in the court record under subsection (3) may be considered in any subsequent application for bail made by that defendant over his or her lifetime.

In this section, judicial officer means—

If a defendant’s failure to comply with a condition of bail has been entered in the court record under section 39(3), any money paid by a surety under a bail bond is forfeited.
