Cross references, commentary & case notes

Case Notes Where principal was surrendered, surety entitled to return of bond whether principal was actually surrendered by surety or police. 81 H. 324, 916 P.2d 1225 (1996). Because §804-51 governs situations in which judgment of forfeiture has been entered, and such a judgment was entered against petitioner, §804-51 and not this section applied to recovery of the bail bond by petitioner. 131 H. 9, 313 P.3d 698 (2013). Pursuant to §804-51, once the court forfeits a bail bond, this section is limited by the thirty-day search period contained within §804-51. 131 H. 9, 313 P.3d 698 (2013).
