Defending Peace Bond Applications
A peace bond under s 810 of the Criminal Code is a method of resolving a criminal charge whereby the defendant agrees to be subject to conditions for a period of up to 12 months. Resolution by way of peace bond under a s 810 is an attractive option for defendants and defence counsel, as the defendant is not left with a criminal record. A s 810 peace bond, however, is also a process in its own right, which is available to a member of the public to initiate on their own.
