The Case

Criminal law Bail. The Divisional Court dismissed the claimant's application for judicial review of the decision of the first defendant Crown Court to revoke bail, where there had been a change in circumstances since bail had originally been granted so that the decision to revoke it had not been irrational or unreasonable, and where the claimant had not had any legitimate expectation that his bail would be continued.
