Notwithstanding any other law to the contrary, where the court is required to determine whether to grant bail to a respondent in respect of an offence under this Act, the matters that it shall take into account include —
the welfare of a child;
whether the prescribed person has been notified of the bail application and expressed any objections;
the need to ensure that a prescribed person is protected from domestic violence; and
any hardship that may be caused to the respondent or to members of the respondent's household residence if bail is not granted or a particular condition is imposed.
The court may grant bail on such terms and conditions as it thinks fit and any person who contravenes or fails to comply with any condition of bail is liable to be rearrested.
