Be remanded on bail...
To be allowed to leave the law court after you have been accused of committing a crime to go to a particular place, usually your home, to wait until the trial begins, after paying a sum of money to the court which will not be given back if you do not appear at the trial

I take it we're talking about English law. Where a person is remanded on bail, the court will direct that some condition or other is obeyed. This may be, for instance, that the person remanded is freed on the condition that he/she reappears at court on a specific date or it may be that the person is directed to live at a bail hostel until the next appearance in court.
In this country the court rarely requires the deposit of a recognisance to be forfeited if the conditions are not met, but it can happen.
Failing to abide by the conditions is a serious offence and the court may issue an immediate arrest warrant.
That help?

It means that the person concerned has the obligation to turn up to court on the date given for the next appearance. The word "remand" comes from a Latin word meaning "order again." Under English law one can be remanded on bail or in custody. Bail can be conditional or unconditional. If conditions are imposed, then the person concerned could be brought back to court if caught breaking one of them and might even be remanded in custody as a result, depending on what was involved. If he or she fails to turn up to court on the "return date", then the court will issue a warrant for his or her arrest and will consider laying a further charge under the Bail Act.

Basically, you are in police custody, they can only keep you till the investigation is completed, and its timed, (hence the 24 or charge rule)
once you have been charged, you are on bail.
You are then either relseased on bail or remanded on bail.
IF your remanded on bail, the clock stops counting, and you are kept in custody until the first available court.
at court once the actual coyrt proceedings are completed for that sitting, you are again on bail, and you can either be released or remanded for it till the next available court date, and you are kept at her majesty's prison.
the reasons a person is kept in remand can be anythig ranging from , danger to themselves or others, will intefere with witnesses, may not return on the bail date, they will intefere with the investiagtion. etc
hope that explains things
yeah i know the term does seem like an oxymoron

means the person has been released by the court or police with the condition that they report to the next court date at a prescribed time.
often there are conditions attatched- not to intefere with witnesses etc

it means that you are not allowed to leave the country,till your court case, also it just means you are allowed to go home till the court case, most of the time you will have to pay to get out,also if you get back in trouble you get banged up straight away,hope that helps,al the best.
