Facts of the Case
Background
The applicant was convicted of domestic violence after pleading guilty to assaulting his brother. He was sentenced to 16 months imprisonment with 6 months suspended. After his bail pending appeal was dismissed, he applied for bail pending review, arguing he was wrongly convicted under the Domestic Violence Act as he did not live with the complainant.
