surrender to custody To give oneself into the custody of the court or police at

an appointed time and place. It is the primary condition of all releases on *bail to

surrender to custody; in order to achieve this, the court may attach conditions to

the bail, such as the provision of a *surety or restrictions on movement. Failure to

surrender to custody is an offence (see ABSCONDING). The police may arrest without

warrant anyone whom they reasonably believe is not going to surrender to custody

or anyone whom they have been informed by a surety (who wishes to be relieved of

his undertaking) is not going to surrender.
