A case that is remanded is sent back to the lower court for a final decision. The appeal court who issues the remand has made a decision on some issue in the case, but has determined that the lower court is better able to decide the main issue: guilt/innocence, liable/not liable, etc.

What is the difference between bail and remand?

Bail is when you are released pending your court hearing. You are bailed against a bond (a sum of money). Remand is where you are not released pending your court hearing. If found guilty the amount of time you spend on remand is counted towards the amount of time you have to serve. People on remand are considered too dangerous to be released on bail.


An appellate court may decide to remand the decision of a lower court?

Yes, sort of. They don't remand the decision, but the case. "Remand" means to return a case to a lower court for further disposition. Usually this follows the reversal of the lower court's decision or identification of a judicial error during the trial or at sentencing, so the case may be "remanded" for a new trial or resentencing. The appellate court always specifies the reason for their decision, and the action they expect to be taken.
