Wondering if you can help please.
I don't want to give to much identifying information about any particular cases.
However, was wondering what would happen if someone acted as security for someone (and paid a surety) and the person on bail broke their bail conditions (eg the curfew on one occasion, not absconding before the trial or anything), would the security have a chance to defend themselves should the court decide that they have to forfeit bail money.
It seems unfair that they are happy to take the money (without enquiring into someone's personal circumstances and whether they can afford to lose the money etc) and not then offer them the chance to prove how much work they have put into ensuring person keeps bail terms
