Common confusion points
Confusing it with a general 'Bail Review Request' form; this is specific to Section 5(2)(B).
Not knowing whether the notification needs to be sent by post or electronically.
Assuming that filling out the form automatically changes your bail status—it notifies them of the change, they process it.
Omitting the case number entirely, making processing difficult for the Courts Service.
