Reforming Bail Law Across Westminster Statutes and Courts
A historical critique traces bail law from Westminster statutes through Tudor and Stuart era reforms, showing how power to bail shifted among justices of the peace and higher courts. It argues judges often ignored statutory limits, highlights notable cases like Eyre, and laments executive leniency that weakened the rule of law, urging adherence to established bail principles.
