Simple English definitions for legal terms

bail above

Read a random definition: general verdict subject to a special case

A quick definition of bail above:

Bail is when someone gives money or property to a court to let a person out of jail until their trial. This is called "posting bail." The person who posts bail promises that the accused person will come back to court for their trial. If they don't come back, the person who posted bail loses their money or property. There are different types of bail, like cash bail (when someone pays money) or civil bail (when someone owes money). If the bail is too high, it's called "excessive bail" and it's not allowed.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: Bail above refers to the process of providing security for a future appearance in court by a surety. It is a type of bail where a person is released from custody to a surety who acts as a guarantee that the accused will appear in court at a later date. This type of bail is used in civil cases where a defendant is arrested by a mesne process.

Example: John is arrested for failing to pay a court-ordered civil debt. He is released on bail above, where his friend acts as a surety and guarantees that John will appear in court on the date of the trial. If John fails to appear in court, his friend will be held responsible for his absence.

Explanation: In this example, John is released on bail above, where his friend acts as a surety. The friend guarantees that John will appear in court on the date of the trial. If John fails to appear in court, his friend will be held responsible for his absence. This type of bail is used in civil cases where a defendant is arrested by a mesne process.

@Eminatorcookieeater: same and my sub status was blank yesterday - trying to research what it means
@shaquilleoatmeal: ooo I wonder what that means, hopefully it means we'll hear back soon

It looks like an update to the sub status (it saying complete instead of being blank) means some sort of review has happened - basically a UR2. Seems like those who got a substatus change got a decision a few days after...
