50.Order to give security

(1)If after an inquiry under section 49, the court is satisfied that the person subject to the order must execute a bond in order to keep the peace or maintain good behaviour, the court must make such order as is appropriate.

(2)The bond may be with or without sureties and —

(a)must not be larger than the amount or longer than the period specified in the order made under section 46; and

(b)the amount of the bond must be fixed with due regard to the circumstances of the case and must not be excessive but must be such as to afford the person against whom the order is made a fair chance of complying with it.

(3)If the court is satisfied that a bond is not necessary, the court must release the person subject to the order.
