69 How defendant to be dealt with during adjournment

(1) Subject to the Bail Act 1978 , the Justice or Justices by whom a hearing is adjourned under section 65 or 68:

(a) in the case of any defendant, whether or not an accused person, may order that a warrant be issued for the committal of the defendant to a correctional centre or other place of security, or

(b) in the case of a defendant who is not an accused person, may allow the defendant to be at large,

for the period of the adjournment.

(2) A warrant under this section may be issued by any Justice.

(3) At any time during the period of adjournment, any Justice may order that a defendant who has been committed to a correctional centre or other place of security be brought before that or any other Justice or Justices.

(4) The person having the custody of a defendant in respect of whom such an order is made must comply with the requirements of the order.

(5) The Bail Act 1978 applies to the defendant (not being an accused person) in the same way as it applies to an accused person and, for that purpose, bail may be granted to the defendant with respect to the period of the adjournment.
