Ontario has introduced sweeping new bail regulations requiring cash deposits before many accused persons can be released, even after a justice has granted bail.

Criminal defence lawyer Joseph Neuberger explains what has changed, why many lawyers believe the new rules create a two-tier justice system, and why the Criminal Lawyers’ Association and the Canadian Civil Liberties Association are challenging the legislation.

Topics include:

• Ontario’s new cash bail requirements

• Sureties and how bail works

• Charter rights and the presumption of innocence

• Reverse onus provisions

• Overcrowded jails
