Everything about Recognizance totally explained
In
British,
Canadian and
American law, the term
recognizance is usually employed to describe an obligation of record, entered into before some court or magistrate duly authorized, whereby the party bound acknowledges (recognizes) that s/he owes a personal debt to the government or Crown, with a defeasance,
for example subject to a condition that the obligation to pay shall be avoided if he'll do some particular act, as if s/he shall appear at the
assizes,
keep the peace, or the like.
Recognizance is most often encountered regarding
bail in criminal cases. By filing a
bail bond with the court, the defendants will usually be released from imprisonment pending a
trial or appeal. If no bail has been set, the defendants are released "on their own recognizance." Release on recognizance is sometimes called
RoR, or, particularly in the United States,
OR.
