Most bail applications take place while an accused is awaiting trial. However,
when an oender has been convicted and is bringing an appeal, it is possible
for the oender to apply to be released. The rules governing such applications
are not found in Part XVI of the Criminal Code, RSC 1985, c C-46 [Code], Com-
