Section 193
Bail to require written undertaking
Processes to Compel Appearance
Plain English Explanation
When bail is granted: (i) A written undertaking must be signed by the accused and their sureties, confirming they understand the bail conditions. (ii) The conditions must be clearly explained to the person being released. This is a new safeguard to ensure accused persons and their sureties actually understand their obligations under bail — violations lead to cancellation.
