Abstract
Abstract This chapter explores remand periods. Prior to conviction: the remand period to police cells is 24 hours; remand to custody for maximum of eight clear days on first remand; subsequent remand to custody for up to 28 clear days provided the next stage in the proceedings will be dealt with; subsequent remand to custody for up to 28 clear days if the defendant is already in custody serving a sentence and will not be released before that date; and remand on bail for eight days, or longer if the defendant consents. Following a sending to the Crown Court, the magistrates have the power to adjourn for a period up to the date of trial. The Magistrates’ Courts Act 1980, s 129 allows for the remands of persons not produced before the court due to illness or accident. The court must have ‘solid grounds’ to justify an opinion that failure to be produced was due to illness or accident. With regard to post-conviction, the remand period is maximum three weeks if in custody, four weeks if on bail.
