Facts of the Case
Background
The applicant, a South African national on bail for fraud charges involving US$1 million, sought to have his bail conditions altered to allow him to return to South Africa on humanitarian grounds as his wife was seriously ill with cancer and heart problems requiring a transplant. The application was opposed on grounds that humanitarian reasons have no basis in law and that the applicant posed a flight risk.
