"What an Electronic Monitoring condition is for"

Illustration for Bail Act 2000

The purpose of an Electronic Monitoring (EM) condition is to restrict and monitor your movements. This is so you appear in court on the date you have been told to, and so you do not interfere with any witnesses or evidence against you. The EM condition also aims to stop you from committing any offences while you are on bail.
