What Is a Motion To Remand?
In law, a motion is the process by which a limited, contested issue is brought before a judge or a court for a decision. Motions are procedural and may be made in regard to procedural, evidentiary or other legal matters relevant to a specific case. A motion to remand can apply differently in different branches of law. In criminal law, a motion to remand is a motion asking the court to deny bail and place a defendant in the custody of the appropriate corrections facility. A motion to remand is different in other branches of law and is a request for a higher court to move a case down to a lower court or court of different jurisdiction to be tried or retried.
