(a)-(b) Clause 3AB of Schedule 1 of the Bail Act 1982 does not contain any requirement for a ‘notification’. Where the clause applies, it obliges a prosecutor to inform the judicial officer or authorised officer about the matters specified in the clause. No data is kept which identifies the number of times such an obligation has arisen, and as such, an answer cannot be provided.
