Lack of power to detain stops imposition of bail conditions

A lawful power to detain a person pending deportation was a precondition to the power to grant bail. Therefore the Special Immigration Appeal Commission had no jurisdiction to grant bail to a person who could no longer be lawfully detained because there was no reasonable prospect of deporting him and, consequently, had no power to continue to impose bail conditions on him.
