Remand (court procedure)

To remand is to send back or remit. In the law of the United States, appellate courts are said to remand cases when sending them back to an inferior court for further action, such as a new trial. Federal appellate courts, including the Supreme Court, have the power to "remand [a] cause and ... require such further proceedings to be had as may be just under the circumstances." This includes the power to make summary "grant, vacate and remand" or GVR orders.

Appellate courts may remand cases if they are unable to finally determine the outcome of the case between the parties. For example, cases which are successfully appealed because the trial judge committed a procedural error, excluded admissible evidence, or ruled improperly on a litigant's motion may be remanded for further action.

In common law jurisdictions, remand refers to the adjournment ( continuance) of criminal proceedings, when the accused is either remanded in custody or on bail. Appellate courts are said to remit matters to lower courts for further consideration.

Remand

Remand may refer to:

  • Remand (court procedure), when an appellate court sends a case back to the trial court or lower appellate court
  • Remand (detention), detention of a suspect prior to a trial, conviction, or sentencing
Remand (detention)

Remand or pre-trial detention is the process of keeping a person who has been arrested in custody before conviction. Those charged with serious crimes may be held in a remand prison until trial or sentencing. Varying terminology is used, but "remand" is generally used in common law jurisdictions. Continued detention after conviction is referred to as imprisonment.

Because imprisonment without trial is contrary to the presumption of innocence, in liberal democracies pre-trial detention is usually subject to safeguards and restrictions. If it is not necessary in the public interest to remand an accused person in custody, they are released on bail.
