Webinar replay: Making successful bail applications

Over half of immigration detainees are eventually released on bail. It is thought that most have to make a bail application first; the Home Office rarely seems to release immigration detainees of its own accord. It is therefore vital to be able to make a strong, well-evidenced and well-argued bail application.

This training webinar will equip you with the insight needed to make the best possible bail application for someone who is detained in immigration detention.

We cover:

• Factors governing likelihood of success
• Evidence in bail applications
• The legal framework of immigration detention and bail
• Bail guidance followed by judges
• Bail conditions
• Applying for bail
• What happens in a bail hearing
• What happens after bail is granted

The webinar focusses on what works.
