§ 1328. Procedure for surrender of defendant
§ 1340. Persons Excluded
More than 180 days after receiving notice that bail bond was forfeited, bond company filed application for remitter. The District Court, Oklahoma County, Daniel L. Owens, J., denied application, and company appealed. The Court of Civil Appeals, Adams, C.J., held that use of word "may" in statute, providing after order and judgment has been paid bail bondsman or insurer may file motion for remitter within 180 days from receipt of order and judgment of forfeiture, does not give trial court discretion to extend statutory time limit.
Appeal was taken from an order of the District Court of Oklahoma County, Carmon C. Harris, Trial Judge, denying bonding company's motion to have a bail bond forfeiture set aside. The Court of Appeals, Boydston, J., held that the bonding company was not a "bondsman" for the purpose of meeting the notice requirement of statute which provides that "bondsman" on a bail bond may file a motion to set aside an order of forfeiture within 60 days from the date of such notice, in that by definition and practice the surety bondsman is the agent of the insurer so that notice to him constitutes legal notice to the insurer.
At this time, there appear to be no specific regulations for "Bounty Hunters" in the Oklahoma statutes. * This information is provided as a reference only and should not be considered legal advice, and may or may not be accurate as laws change regularly.
