Rule 9

• (1) Subject to the provisions of this rule, every application to the High Court in respect of bail in any criminal proceeding—

• (a) where the defendant is in custody, must be made by claim form to a judge ... to show cause why the defendant should not be granted bail;

• (b) where the defendant has been admitted to bail, must be made by claim form to a judge ... to show cause why the variation in the arrangements for bail proposed by the applicant should not be made.
