§ 56 Limitation.

Here's a plain English summary:

A judge can only make someone post security (like a bond or money) to promise they'll keep the peace or behave well if a specific law allows it. Judges can't just make up this requirement on their own or use it whenever they feel like it.

This rule limits the court's power. It means there are set rules elsewhere in the law that spell out exactly when this kind of security can be demanded. If a situation doesn't match those specific rules, the court cannot force someone to put up security just to guarantee their future behavior.

For someone involved in a case, this is a protection. It stops judges from adding extra financial requirements or conditions unless the law specifically says they can. If you're ever asked to post this kind of security, you or your lawyer can check whether the situation actually fits what the law allows.
