In re Forfeiture of Bail Bonds, 705 N.W.2d 350 (Mich. 2005) remanded the case to the Court of Appeals to reconsider its decision to remit only a small part of the bond. MCL §765.28.1 was amended in 2003 to require that the court give the surety notice not later than 7 days after the defendant failed to appear. The notice was given six months after the failure to appear. The Supreme Court clearly suggested that the partial remission was not compliance with the statute.
