A checklist of custody dates, remand orders and earlier bail decisions for professional review.
Use it when a detained person needs a bail assessment or an earlier decision needs review; it is not an application.

Gather your pieces
- Contact counsel promptly if a person is detained or faces an active custody deadline.
- Collect the latest remand order and every previous bail order available.
- Record all known pending cases and orders; do not assume the detention period alone decides eligibility.
