WHAT DOES BIND OVER MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Binding over

In the law of England and Wales and in other common law jurisdictions such as Hong Kong, binding over, a binding over order, and binding over for sentence are exercises of certain powers by magistrates. A person who is bound over can be required to refrain from certain activities for a stipulated period, to be of good behaviour or to comply with other conditions. When binding a person over, the magistrate will usually stipulate a conditional financial penalty or fine to be paid if the person later breaches the binding over order. If the person breaches the conditions, he or she can be arrested and brought to court or otherwise compelled to return to court where the magistrate may impose the stipulated financial penalty or otherwise dispose of the case. Magistrates can bind over a person to be of good behaviour or to keep the peace, any person, such as a defendant, witness or claimant. This may happen where the case involves violence or the threat of it. Sometimes the prosecution will drop such a charge if the defendant agrees to be bound over in this way.
