Incandela v The Queen

The applicant, Incandela, sought a stay of his sentence and bail pending his appeal to the Court of Appeal. The application was heard by Elkaim J.

The primary legal issue before the Court was whether the applicant should be granted bail pending the determination of his appeal against sentence.

Elkaim J considered the principles governing the grant of bail pending appeal. The Court noted that the applicant had not demonstrated exceptional circumstances that would warrant the grant of bail. The applicant's submissions did not establish a strong likelihood of success on appeal, nor did they present any compelling reasons for his release from custody.

Consequently, bail was refused.
