Legal Terms -Bail
The release of an individual by the police, magistrates' court, or crown court on parole.
An individual who is lawfully detained in anticipation of trial or on appeal from a prior criminal conviction. The police may impose conditions on the release of an individual on parole. A bail applicant agrees to remit a predetermined monetary amount to the court in the event of his non-appearance on the court-scheduled date (refer to justifying bail as well). This is referred to as bond in personal appearance.
Frequently, guarantors (also referred to as sureties) are obligated to produce the defendant or risk forfeiting the amount specified by the court in the event that they fail to do so. Theoretically, the parole applicant is transferred to the sureties' custody under these conditions. Judges possess broad discretionary authority with regard to the matter of parole eligibility and the amount to be granted. In general, bail is not granted to an accused unless there is reason to believe that they will flee or interfere with witnesses, or if they have a prior conviction for one of the following crimes: murder, attempted murder, infanticide, rape, or attempted rape. A limited number of situations permit the prosecution or the accused to file an appeal.
