The accused, Kimber-Lee Long, sought a bail review after being denied bail for serious charges including robbery, aggravated assault, forcible confinement, and drug offences.
The court found a material change in circumstances due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the accused's progress in custody, and a new, more suitable surety.
The court was satisfied that the proposed release plan, including house arrest with the surety, mitigated the risks on both secondary and tertiary grounds, and released the accused on a recognizance with a surety.
