Mohr v The Queen (No 3)

Mohr applied to vary the bail conditions imposed by the court. Mohr sought to have house arrest deleted and electronic monitoring imposed instead. The application was made to the Federal Court of Australia. The legal issues before the court were whether the proposed changes to the bail conditions were reasonable and whether they would sufficiently ensure Mohr’s appearance in court. The court considered the relevant provisions of the Bail Act 1976 and the factors set out in section 36A. The court found that the proposed changes to the bail conditions did not adequately address the risk of flight and did not sufficiently ensure Mohr’s appearance in court. The court held that the application should be refused. Mohr’s application to vary the bail conditions was dismissed.
