The Bail Act 1978 is a former New South Wales law[3] that has been repealed, and replaced with the Bail Act 2013.[4] While it was considered "groundbreaking" when enacted,[5] it has been reformed several times to increase a presumption against bail.[6]
The original legislation had three classes of eligibility for bail - minor offences where people were entitled to bail, offences where bail was favoured, and a third where there was no recommendation for or against bail.[1]
