medidas cautelares de libertad

English translation: conditional release [from custody] measures

Spanish to English translations [Non-PRO]
Law/Patents - Law (general) / indictment
Spanish term or phrase: medidas cautelares de libertad
I know that "medida cautalare" can mean precautionary/preventive measure or injunction, as appears in the glossary, but not sure how either of these fit here:

Under "Razonamientos Juridicos":

"No habiendo variado las circunstancias que determinaron en su momento la medida cautelar de LIBERTAD se RATIFICA lo acordado en el auto de ......"

How can granting the defendant's freedom be seen as a precautionary/preventive measure??

Explanation:
IE the POSTING of a bond.....libertad here means RELEASE from custody...NOT freedom IN ENGLISH.....cautelar would be conditional...rather than preventive..they are released from custody though certain conditions still apply....that is the case, for example, if you are released on bail...

cheers
