Where can I find information on Peace Bonds and Surety Issues?
There is a distinct difference between Peace Bonds and Surety issues. You can apply for a Peace Bond, Restraining Order or Terms of Release if you feel you are being threatened by a partner or ex-partner, or if you are being stalked. Peace Bonds, Restraining Orders and Terms of Release are issued when a court believes one person may cause injury to another person and/or to member of their family, or when the court sees that a person has “reasonable fear” of another person. A Surety is someone who agrees to take responsibility for a person accused of a crime. Responsibilities of a Surety include making certain that the accused comes to court on time and on the right dates, as well as making sure that the accused obeys each condition of the bail order.
