What does it mean if I give an undertaking to the court?

An undertaking is a legal promise to the court.

This can be either to complete an action or to prevent an action taking place. For example giving an undertaking to pay the mortgage payments monthly on the family home. Alternatively the undertaking could be to not harass, pester, contact in any way, or intimidate another person. This is an example of an undertaking that is often given in non-molestation proceedings.
