Bail Act 1898
The Bail Act 1898 (61 & 62 Vict c 7) was an Act of the Parliament of the United Kingdom. It amended the Indictable Offences Act 1848, which gave justices the power to give bail on sureties In finance, a surety , surety bond or guaranty involves a promise by one party to assume responsibility for the debt obligation of a borrower if that borrower defaults. Usually, a surety bond or surety is a promise by a surety or guarantor to pay ..., to allow the justices to dispense with the need for sureties if they felt that doing so would not "tend to defeat the ends of justice"; this prevented the unhelpful situation where someone who was at no risk of absconding was kept imprisoned for long periods of time because they could not find the wherewithal to post bail.''The public general acts passed in the sixty-first & sixty-second years of the reign of her majesty Queen Victoria''.

Bail Act 1978
The ''Bail Act 1978'' is a former New South Wales law that has been repealed, and replaced with the ''Bail Act 2013''. While it was considered "groundbreaking" when enacted, it has been reformed several times to increase a presumption against bail. The original legislation had three classes of eligibility for bail - minor offences where people were entitled to bail, offences where bail was favoured, and a third where there was no recommendation for or against bail.

Bail Act 2013
The ''Bail Act 2013'' is a New South Wales law that came into effect on 20 May 2014. It replaces the ''Bail Act 1978'', which was considered "groundbreaking" when enacted, but has been reformed several times to presume against bail. The new act was created with the aims that it would be easier to understand, would further protect the community and would promote consistent decision-making. The ''Bail Act 2013'' uses an "unacceptable risk" test in regard to whether "the accused will fail to appear in any proceedings for the offence, commit a serious offence, endanger the safety of victims, individuals or the community, or interfere with witnesses or evidence". The ''Bail Act 2013'' passed in the NSW parliament in May 2013. In response to a review, ''Bail Act'' reforms passed parliament in September 2014, and came into effect on 28 January 2015. Review of previous law On 9 June 2011, Premier Barry O'Farrell announced that the NSW Law Reform Commission would review the bail law. In ...
