Case Law / Previous convictions

T C Badenhorst v the S.pdf

About the Case:
This South African High Court judgment overturns a bail refusal. The magistrate erred by considering a 2008 fraud conviction, which had lapsed under Section 271A of the Criminal Procedure Act. This wrongly placed the bail application under Schedule 5, shifting the onus to the appellant. The appeal clarifies how previous convictions affect bail schedules.
