Ontario's new cash bail system has been put on hold while a judge weighs a challenge to its constitutionality. The new rules kicked in earlier this month and require people accused of a crime and granted bail to provide a cash security deposit within two business days of their release. Before then, they only had to hand over the money if the release conditions were breached and the court ordered payment. The two legal organizations argue in their challenge that the rule change infringes on federal jurisdiction and contradicts the Criminal Code, which they say explicitly directs courts to favour a promise to pay over a cash payment. They argue the switch will effectively make bail harder to obtain, particularly for marginalized people who may not have money for a deposit or be able to find a surety with the required funds. The province, meanwhile, argues it's an administrative change that does not affect the conditions of release.
