Plain English
If you are involved in a military appeal and a Garda has given information that a surety must provide, this form tells the Court of Appeal that the appellant will be committed based on that information. It basically records the surety’s details and the Garda’s report so the court can decide whether to keep the appellant in custody.
Submission Date
- Filing date: The form should be filed before the scheduled hearing date, usually within 5 working days of receiving the Garda’s information. Late filing may result in the appellant being remanded without the benefit of the surety.
- Preparation window: collect IDs, supporting records, and signatures in advance.
- Final review: verify names, dates, and required fields before submission.
