• After the conclusion of the case, do the following;
• Write a letter to the magistrate who heard the case asking for the bail money
• Attach a bail form on which you had been reporting to the court

• Attach a copy of the accused’s id
• Wait for a response from the magistrate

No fee is paid for a refund of bail.

Every accused person is entitled to apply to the court for bail while waiting for trial. The decision is up to the court to give or not to give bail to an accused person.

• Cash bail- this is a sum of money asked by the court as security to ensure the accused appears in court. This is paid immediately (there and then).
• Non-cash bail- this is the sum of money asked by the court to be paid by a surety when the accused fails to appear in court. It does not have to be paid there and then.
