CaseChat Overview and Summary

The matter of Benjamin Angus Shield was before the Supreme Court of Tasmania on the 24th of June, 2016. The court was called to hear an application for bail. This was a criminal matter and Shield was seeking relief from the court in the form of bail. The legal issues before the court were whether Shield met the criteria for bail as set out by the Bail Act 1982 (Tas), and whether there were any factors that would weigh against granting bail.

The court examined Shield's circumstances, including his criminal history, the seriousness of the offence, and the likelihood of him appearing in court if granted bail. The court also considered the interests of the community and any risk that Shield may pose if released. The court found that Shield met the criteria for bail, and there were no factors that would weigh against granting bail. As such, the court granted Shield bail.

The final orders of the court were that Shield be released on bail, subject to certain conditions. These conditions included that Shield report to a designated police station on a regular basis, refrain from contacting certain individuals, and abide by a curfew. Shield was also required to surrender his passport and any travel documents. The court's decision was based on a careful consideration of the relevant factors and a finding that Shield met the criteria for bail.
