law: as, for example, when a juror is fined for nonattendance in court,
after being duly summoned and, on appearing, he produces evidence to the
court that he was sick and unable to attend, the fine will be remitted by
the court.
3. In commercial law, to remit is to send money, bills, or something
which will answer the purpose of money.
