Section 50(1)(d) of the Constitution provides that a person arrested or detained must be released unconditionally or on reasonable conditions, pending a charge or trial, unless there are compelling reasons justifying their continued detention.

This establishes a general entitlement to bail unless the court finds that it is in the interests of justice that the accused be detained in custody pending trial. The provision of the Criminal Procedure and Evidence Act Section 117 reads as follows:
“Subject to this section and section 32, a person who is in custody in respect of an offence is entitled to be released on bail at any time after he or she has appeared in court on a charge and before sentence is imposed, unless the court finds that it is in the interests of justice that he or she should be detained in custody.”

Administration of Deceased Estates is governed by the Administration of Deceased Estates Act (Chapter 6:01) (herein referred to as the Act.)

What is a Deceased Estate?
A deceased estate comes into existence when a person dies and leaves property or belongings that have monetary value (such as real estate, vehicles, money in the bank, stocks and shares, household goods, insurance policies and jewelry). It must also be understood that when someone dies, the debts and liabilities that they held during their lifetime often continue and must be discharged out of the estate.
