§ 52 Proceedings when parties appear.

When both sides show up for this hearing, the judge will listen to what each side has to say and look at any evidence they present. This usually happens in cases involving a bond or bail agreement, often called an "undertaking."

After hearing from both sides, the judge has two choices. The judge can cancel the current bond agreement completely, ending that obligation. Or the judge can order a new bond agreement to replace the old one.

If the judge orders a new agreement, it can't last longer than one year. This gives the court a way to update bond terms while still putting a limit on how long someone has to stay under that agreement.
