Remand is a legal term which has two related but distinct usages. Its etymology is from the Latin re- and mandare, literally "to order." It evolved in Late Latin to remandare, or "to send back word." It appears in Middle French as remander and in Middle English as remaunden, both with essentially the same meaning, "to send back." [1]

  • Remand (court procedure): an action by an appellate court in which it sends back a case to the trial court or lower appellate court for action
  • Detention of suspects: Remand may also mean the detention of suspects before trial or sentencing.
  • In some countries, to remand is to summon to appear in court on a specific day in the future. The prisoner is taken briefly before a magistrate, who will remand him or her until a later hearing. He or she may be remanded on bail, i.e., mostly free provided specified conditions are met. For more serious offences, or if the accused is believed to pose a high risk of absconding or harming the public, or where specifically required by law, a remand in custody keeps the accused in prison until his or her trial.
