- remand in custody
the opposite decision — sending the accused to prison to await trial

文法句型
be remanded on bail
remand + noun phrase + on bail
用法筆記
Distinguish from verb sense 1: 'remand on bail' means the accused is released, not imprisoned. The full phrase 'remanded on bail' is important because 'remand' alone (without 'on bail') implies custody. Frequently followed by a description of the conditions imposed.

everyday equivalent; less formal, used in any context
- return
general term; in law, 'remand' is the precise procedural term for sending a case to a lower court
- refer back
broader legal term that can also mean sending a matter to another authority for opinion
文法句型
remand + case/matter + to + lower court
be remanded to + noun phrase for + noun phrase
用法筆記
Used primarily in appellate procedure. The higher court does not decide the case itself — it sends it to a lower court to re-hear or re-decide according to the higher court's legal guidance. This sense is the original historical meaning of 'remand' (to send back) and is used in both British and American legal systems.

用法筆記
Always used in the fixed phrases 'on remand' or 'in remand' — never 'under remand'. This sense emphasises the prisoner's status and daily experience rather than the legal process. In news reports, 'on remand' is far more common than the countable 'remand' (noun sense 1).
