Farah Damji’s High Court bail hearing over UK restraining-order breaches was adjourned on 1 September 2020, with a decision due on 3 September. She is applying for bail in Ireland while extradition proceedings are pending, after being convicted in her absence by Southwark Crown Court of twice breaching a restraining order in 2018.

The State opposed bail, describing Damji as a flight risk, while her counsel argued that conditions could address the concerns. The hearing heard disputed accounts about her identity documents, ties to Ireland and financial circumstances.
