This Practice Note addresses breaches of police bail conditions and failures to attend the police station or court following release on bail from the police station. For general guidance on police bail, see Practice Notes: Police bail, Applicable bail period and How to make representations for bail at the police station.

The Hygiene Regulations comprise FSH(E)R 2013, SI 2013/2996 together with the ‘EU Hygiene Regulations’, as identified in FSH(E)R 2013, SI...
