A breach of bond occurs when someone fails to perform according to the bond, leading to legal consequences such as re-arrest, forfeiture of the warranty, and higher bail. This can happen in criminal or financial matters, and default can affect credit rating. Debtors have the opportunity to remedy the breach, but it may affect their ability to obtain another bond. It is important to understand the terms of the bond before entering into a contract.
A breach of bond is a legal infraction that occurs when someone obligated under the bond fails to perform in accordance with the bond. A breach of bond is one of the most common types of breach of bond, but it can also apply to financial matters. Once the debtor’s action has caused a breach, the action is likely to be handled based on the contractual agreement between the parties involved.
When someone commits a crime, while awaiting trial, or perhaps even an appeal, they often have the option of bail out of prison. That bond requires certain conditions to be met, often including checking in with a parole officer or servant, and staying out of further legal trouble. Those who fail to do so may find that they are charged with a breach of duty and face further legal consequences, including possible forfeiture of the warranty.
Consequences of such violations include being re-arrested and returned to prison for incarceration. If the breach of bond was serious enough, a judge cannot order further possibilities, meaning the individual must remain in jail until a trial or other action is completed. In some cases, the judge can release the person again under the same conditions. In other cases, the judge may impose other penalties or a higher amount of bail.
In financial matters, a bond is an instrument used to conclude a debt agreement. The agreement establishes certain requirements, typically including an interest rate, provisions about what the money can be used for, and a payment schedule. If a debtor fails to meet the payment schedule or uses the money for an unauthorized purpose, it can cause a breach of obligations. Typically, the bond would then default and set off a chain of legal proceedings.
Once a breach occurs, the debtor generally has the opportunity to remedy the non-performance caused by the breach for a period of time. This could include making payments in progress or returning money used for an unauthorized purpose. However, default could affect the interest rate on the bond or otherwise affect the credit rating.
Those with a breach of bond may find themselves unable to obtain another bond, or at least a bond on favorable terms. This applies to both debt matters and criminal obligations. Therefore, it is up to the debtor to fully understand the terms of the bond and what is required before entering into any type of contract.
