Tamworth's Imperial Hotel owner Michael Foxman found to be breaching bail by using social media by Tamworth magistrate

Oxley police lodged a detention application on Christmas Eve in Tamworth Local Court in a bid to have the The Imperial Brew House owner arrested, but it was denied.

Magistrate Peter Thompson found the breach of bail was established, but declined to issue an arrest warrant.

Police prosecutor Sergeant John Brissett said: "The application is for him to go into detention" for "his continuing breaches of bail".

Sergeant Brissitt tendered facts and what Mr Thompson described as "eight pages of what are printouts from social media pages".

He said the evidence "relate to issues around alleged corruption".

"They certainly name NSW Police and Tamworth courts," Mr Thompson said.

He said "those matters .. go to the heart" of the risk he posed and "why that [social media] ban was put in place".

Mr Thompson said the printouts related to organisations with which Foxman was involved with including the "world kindness movement, and other matters relating to world issues and China, and human rights".

"The breach is established, I intend to take no action on his breach of bail," he said, and instead issued a stern warning to solicitor Peter Doukas for Foxman not to breach his bail, or he would be taken into custody.

Foxman did not appear in court, but was served with a court notice at his Sydney address the night before, the court was told.

On Thursday, the court heard Foxman, through Investments Marius Street, had been charged with a new allegation of unlawfully providing persons to carry on security activities.

"There's a couple of fresh matters," Mr Thompson said examining the papers.

Mr Thompson refused leave for Mr Doukas to withdraw from the matter, after Mr Doukas said Foxman had already picked up his brief of evidence from him, and had declined to hand it back.

Mr Doukas said Foxman is still seeking a lawyer and wanted to vary his bail conditions, but it was refused by Mr Thompson.

He appeared as amicus on behalf of Foxman, but was not instructed in the matter, and said "essentially that's where it has been left".

"I can't say whether he will have solicitors at the time [in January]," Mr Doukas said.

"I think it's important ... he have some legal representation," Mr Thompson replied.

Mr Thompson adjourned all the cases to mid-January, warning Foxman must be ready to proceed in all matters.

"I expect that a plea must be entered on that occasion."

Foxman has six matters now before the court, along with the Marius Investments security allegation.

A Commonwealth DPP solicitor - who is in the case surrounding the "allegations of threats made to the prosecutor and to the court" - told the court he had "received a further statement" and more information was to come through "some material obtained by subpoena".

Mr Thompson expressed frustration that Foxman's traversal plea hearing for some of his matters was unlikely to proceed in mid-January and "we've lost allocated time" in court, he said.

All matters have been adjourned to January.
