The accused, Challa Daoud, sought a bail review following his detention by a Justice of the Peace for 10 firearm-related offences and multiple breaches of prior bail conditions.
The application was based on a purported material change in circumstances, specifically a revised bail plan with two new sureties and increased bond amounts.
The court found no material change in circumstances, noting that merely reshuffling sureties or increasing bond amounts does not suffice.
The court upheld the Justice of the Peace's decision to detain the accused on secondary and tertiary grounds, citing a substantial likelihood of reoffending due to a history of 32 convictions for breaching court orders, serious addiction issues, and the gravity of the firearms offences.
