The Bail Act 1978 is a former New South Wales law that has been repealed, and replaced with the Bail Act 2013. While it was considered "groundbreaking" when enacted, it has been reformed several times to increase a presumption against bail. The original legislation had three classes of eligibility for bail - minor offences where people were entitled to bail, offences where bail was favoured, and a third where there was no recommendation for or against bail.
