court
“court” means the Court of Appeal, the General Division of the High Court, a Family Court, a Youth Court, a District Court or a Magistrate’s Court (as the case may be) which exercises criminal jurisdiction;
On receiving the application, the court must issue a summons or warrant, as it thinks fit, requiring the person for whom that surety is bound to appear or to be brought before it.
When that person comes before the court, the court must cancel the bond and order that person to provide adequate security for the remaining term of the bond.
Every such order referred to in subsection (3) is to be treated as made under section 41 or 50 and in such a case, sections 52 to 55 apply accordingly.
