Practice question
An accused on bail subject to a valid court travel condition says a foreign business invitation automatically releases him from that condition. No judicial permission has been granted. Under Manotoc, which answer is best?
- Any business invitation automatically cancels bail conditions.
- The invitation transfers the case to the inviting company.
- A foreign destination removes all judicial authority retrospectively.
- The invitation does not itself remove the condition; travel permission must be addressed through the proper judicial process.
- The prosecutor must always dismiss the case when an invitation arrives.
