The Crown applied for a bail review of a Justice of the Peace's decision to release the accused.
The Crown argued the Justice of the Peace erred by applying the 'ladder principle' in a reverse-onus bail hearing.
The Superior Court agreed that this was an error of law and that the decision was clearly inappropriate.
Reconsidering the bail issues, the court found that the accused, who had an extensive criminal record and a history of breaching court orders, failed to meet his onus on the secondary grounds.
The release order was vacated and the accused was ordered detained.
