CaseChat Overview and Summary

The matter before the Supreme Court of Tasmania was a bail application brought by Dean Philip Braslin and Steven John Ford. The applicants sought bail in relation to criminal charges that had been laid against them. The application was heard in Court 8, Salamanca Place, Hobart before Justice Blow. The legal issues before the court were whether the applicants were eligible for bail and, if so, what conditions should be imposed.

Justice Blow considered the relevant legal principles and the evidence presented by both the prosecution and the applicants. The court found that the applicants were eligible for bail, but imposed strict conditions to ensure that they would appear in court when required and would not reoffend. The court also ordered that the applicants be electronically monitored while on bail.

The final orders of the court were that the applicants be released on bail, subject to the conditions set out by the court. The applicants were also ordered to report to the police station on a regular basis and to surrender their passports. The court further ordered that the applicants be electronically monitored while on bail. The applicants were given the right to appeal the conditions of their bail to the Full Court of the Supreme Court of Tasmania.
