Where investigation is complete, a complaint has been filed, the trial is unlikely to conclude promptly, offences are Magistrate-triable, and evidence is mainly documentary, continued pre-trial custody is unwarranted absent material showing flight risk, evidence tampering, witness intimidation or trial obstruction.
