to review a bail determination made by the Supreme Court if the person in respect of
whom the determination was made is appearing before one of those Courts or a

facts or special circumstances justify such a review.
Any such review will be subject to such limitations as may be prescribed by
regulations made under the Act and to the provisions of Part 6 of the Act.
Clause 1 specifies the short title of the proposed Act.
Clause 2 provides for the commencement of the proposed Act on a proclaimed day.

before or after the commencement of the amendment.
