Remand in custody or on bail by the District Court.

22.—(1) Where the District Court remands a person or sends him forward for trial or sentence, the Court may—
|
|
| |
(a) commit him to prison or other lawful custody, or
|
|
| |
(b) release him conditionally on his entering into a recognisance, with or without sureties.
|
|
| |
In this Part, references to “custody” are to a committal under paragraph (a) and references to “bail” are to a conditional release under paragraph (b).
|
|
| |
(2) The Court may, instead of taking a recognisance from a person in accordance with subsection (1), fix the amount of the recognisance in which he and his sureties, if any, are to be bound with a view to their being subsequently taken in accordance with subsection (3) and in the meantime commit him to custody in accordance with subsection (1) (a).
|
|
| |
(3) Where the Court fixes the amount of a recognisance under subsection (2), the recognisance may thereafter be taken by a justice of the Court or by a peace commissioner.
|
|
| |
(4) Where a person is brought before the Court after remand under subsection (1) the Court may further remand him.
