Common confusion points
Mistaking 'Discharge' for 'Variation': Discharge means it's over; Variation means the rules changed but the bail continues.
Not knowing which court office handles the filing: The form must go to the specific court that issued the original order.
Using this form when you are simply complying with a condition: If you paid the fine, use this form. If you just attended the hearing, you might not need it yet.
Assuming automatic update: Filing 18.10 does not mean all other government bodies know immediately.
