Extradition Act · 2024 Revised Edition · Part 4
Official textFrom Attorney General's Chambers, unchanged
A person arrested under an endorsed warrant shall be brought before a magistrate as soon as practicable.
The magistrate shall —
remand that person in custody; or
if the magistrate is satisfied that he is unlikely to abscond, release him on bail whether with or without sureties, for a period that is necessary for proceedings under this Part to be conducted.
Extradition
A magistrate who releases a person on bail may order that his passport and other travel documents be surrendered until the extradition proceedings are concluded.
A person shall not be remanded in custody or on bail for a period longer than 28 days.
If a magistrate remands that person in custody after he has made an application for bail, that person is not entitled to apply to any other magistrate for release on bail during that remand, unless the first-mentioned magistrate is no longer available.
