[edit] Beyond Canada?
I happened upon this term in connection with Canadian law, so I wrote the stub that way. It may well be used in other jurisdictions as well, though. JamesMLane 07:10, 1 May 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Surety category
I doubt that this article belongs in Category:Sureties. My understanding of suretyship is that it involves a promise by one person to answer for the debt of another. The underlying debt is owed by the obligor to the obligee; the surety agrees that, if the obligor defaults, the surety will pay the debt to the obligee. I don't think that there is such a relationship in a peace bond. (The name may be a bit misleading in that respect.) JamesMLane 18:15, 25 October 2005 (UTC)
[edit] "Peace Bond" Miscategorization
It is confusing to see the entry for "Peace Bond" under a stub for "Sureties". It is not connected to a Bail Bond issued by a surety/bondsman in any way. Perhaps this section would be better served by moving it to another section
There are a few places it would be appropriately placed, i.e., domestic violence, victim's rights, assault, and so forth. My experience as bail bond agent assures me that this is an inappropriate stub for bonds, as well. Nojail4you 02:38, 16 October 2006 (UTC)
