Literary notes about REMAND (AI summary)

In John Galsworthy's "The Silver Box: A Comedy in Three Acts," the word "remand" is employed in several nuanced legal contexts. For example, it is used as a directive for temporarily detaining someone—"I'll remand them for a week" [1]—and as a term indicating that an individual must make an appearance in court, as seen in "D' you mean he'll have to appear on the remand" [2]. Galsworthy also repeats the phrase "there'll be a remand" [3][4] to emphasize the formal process of holding or detaining, while in another instance, "You remember you ordered a remand for further evidence as to the story of the male prisoner" [5], the term underscores its role in judicial procedures for further inquiry. Together, these examples highlight how "remand" is intricately linked with legal and procedural actions in the text.
