| 单词 | Surety |
| 释义 | 擔保人 A person who makes himself or herself answerable for another’s actions. Contract - A person who is answerable for the obligation of another, either under a contract or as an equitable surety. The surety’s liability is secondary to the primary liability of the principal debtor, in the sense that it is contingent upon the principal debtor’s continuing liability and default. See also Co-surety. Criminal law - A person who enters into a (usually written) undertaking that he or she will forfeit a specified sum of money (or other security) if a defendant fails to comply with the bail undertaking: for example Criminal Procedure Ordinance (Cap 221) s 9D(3). Any agreement indemnifying or purporting to indemnify any person against any liability which he may incur as a surety to secure the surrender to custody of a person admitted to bail is prohibited: s 9F(1). A surety is obliged to take all steps to ensure that the accused surrenders to the court at the time appointed. If a surety wishes to be discharged of his obligation to surrender the accused at the time and place appointed by the court, he may go before the court which granted bail and if the court is satisfied that there is reasonable cause to believe that the person for whom he is surety will not surrender to custody at the time and place appointed by the court, the court may order that the surety be relieved of his obligation: Criminal Procedure Ordinance (Cap 221) s 9E. See also Bail. 令自己須對另一人的行動負責的人。 合約 - 依據合約或作為衡平法上的擔保人，而須對另一人的義務負責的人。擔保人的法律責任次於主債務人的首要法律責任，意思是取決於主債務人的持續法律責任及拖欠。另見 Co-surety。 刑法 - 擔保人承諾，如被告人不遵守保釋承諾書，他／她會因而被沒收指定的款項（或其他保證），此承諾通常以書面形式作出：例如《刑事訴訟程序條例》（第221章）第9D(3)條。任何協議，如是彌償或其意是彌償某人作為擔保人以確保獲准保釋的人會歸押而可招致的任何法律責任的，均被禁止，並屬無效：第9F(1)條。擔保人須採取一切措施，以確保被告人在指定的時間歸押。如某擔保人意欲解除他／她有關擔保人於法庭的指定時間及地方歸押的責任，他可到授予保釋的法庭席前，並如法庭信納，擔保人有合理因由相信他所擔保的人將不會按照法庭的指定時間及地方歸押，則法庭可命令寬免該人作為擔保人的責任：《刑事訴訟程序條例》（第221章）第9E條。另見 Bail。 n. |
