Forfeiture of cash bail is a civil matter and should be appealed in the civil jurisdiction, but where a surety has made serious attempts to secure attendance and the trial judge gave no reasons for full forfeiture, the appellate court may remit part of the forfeited sum under s.13AA; accordingly the Court allowed a 50% remission.
