BIND OVER Meaning and Definition

  1. To "bind over" is a legal term meaning to transfer or commit an individual to a higher court for trial or further legal proceedings. It refers to the formal process of moving a case from a lower court to a higher court when the lower court does not have jurisdiction to decide on the matter.

    When a judge determines that a case requires more serious consideration or falls under the jurisdiction of a higher court, they may bind over the defendant. This typically occurs if it is believed that a crime has been committed that is more serious than the jurisdictional limits of the current court, or if there is an issue related to the complexity of the case that needs more specialized attention.

    The act of binding over usually involves a hearing in which evidence and arguments from both sides are presented. The judge then decides if it is appropriate and necessary to move the case to a higher court. If the judge orders the defendant to be bound over, the necessary documents and evidence will be prepared to initiate the transfer.

    Once bound over, the higher court assumes jurisdiction and will proceed with the trial or further legal actions. The defendant may have to appear before the higher court, and the case will be examined based on the new jurisdictional boundaries or legal requirements.

Etymology of BIND OVER
