Section 375: Security for peace in cases tried summarily

(1) A defendant convicted of an offence tried summarily may, instead of, or in addition to any prescribed punishment, be ordered to enter into his own recognizance, with or without sureties, in such amount as the court thinks fit that he shall keep the peace and be of good behaviour for a reasonable period fixed by the court.
(2) The convict may be ordered to be imprisoned until the recognizance is entered into, but the imprisonment shall not:
(a) extend for a term longer than 1 year; and
(b) together with the fixed term of imprisonment, if any, extend for a term longer than the longest term for which he might be sentenced to be imprisoned without fine for the offence which he was convicted.
