Explain conditional bail under English law.

Conditional bail is a type of bail that is granted to an accused person under certain conditions. In other words, the accused is released from custody but must comply with specific conditions in order to remain out of custody until their trial. Conditions of bail may include things such as reporting regularly to a designated police station, surrendering their passport, residing at a specified address, or refraining from contact with witnesses or victims. The purpose of conditional bail is to ensure that the accused does not pose a risk to the public or to the administration of justice while awaiting trial. The conditions of bail must be reasonable and proportionate to the risks posed by the accused and must not infringe upon their human rights. If the accused breaches any of the conditions of their bail, they may be re-arrested and brought back before the court for a bail revocation hearing. The court may then either vary the conditions of bail or detain the accused in custody until their trial. In conclusion, conditional bail is a type of bail that is granted to an accused person under specific conditions, with the aim of ensuring that they do not pose a risk to the public or the administration of justice while awaiting trial. The conditions of bail must be reasonable and proportionate and any breach of the conditions may result in the accused being re-arrested and brought back before the court.
