REMANDS Meaning and
Definition
-
Remands, as a transitive verb, refers to the action of sending someone back into custody, usually until their trial or further proceedings. It involves the act of returning a person, who may have been released on bail or for other reasons, to the custody of law enforcement or judicial authorities. The term mainly applies to legal contexts, such as courtrooms and jails, where a judge or magistrate orders the detainment of someone, ensuring their presence during legal proceedings.
In criminal cases, a judge may remand a defendant back into custody if they pose a flight risk, have violated the conditions of their bail, or if the judge believes it necessary to protect public safety. Additionally, remanding can occur when a higher court overturns a previous decision that allowed a person to be released during the trial process. In cases related to civil law, individuals may also be remanded for various reasons including contempt of court or non-compliance with court orders.
The process of remanding involves the detainee being physically returned to a prison or holding facility, where they await their trial or further legal action. This temporary detainment typically continues until a higher court issues a ruling, a date for trial is set, or the charges against the individual are dropped. Remands are an essential legal mechanism to ensure the presence and security of individuals involved in legal proceedings, upholding the principles of justice and maintaining the integrity of the legal system.

Etymology of REMANDS
The word "remands" has its origins in the Old French word "remander" which means "to send back". This French term traces its roots to the Latin word "remittere" which has a similar meaning of "to send back" or "to hand back". From Latin, "remittere" was derived from the prefix "re-" meaning "back" and the verb "mittere" meaning "to send". Over time, "remander" in Old French transformed into "remand" in English, primarily used in legal contexts to refer to the act of sending a case or a defendant back to a lower court for further action or reconsideration. The term "remands" is the plural form of "remand".
