(2)Nothing in subsection (1) prevents the detained person from being brought before the sheriff on a Saturday, a Sunday or a court holiday if the sheriff is sitting on such a day for the disposal of criminal business.
[F2(2A)Subsections (3) to (5) apply where, on being brought before the sheriff under this section, the detained person is not accused on petition or charged on complaint with an offence in respect of the facts and circumstances giving rise to the arrest.]

(c)giving any information known to the procurator fiscal about the circumstances which gave rise to the interdict and the attachment of the power of arrest;
(d)giving any other information known to the procurator fiscal and relevant to an assessment of the risk of abuse or further abuse in breach of the interdict; and
(e)requesting the court to consider whether, on the information presented, a further period of detention is justified.
(4)If it appears to the sheriff, after affording the detained person the opportunity to make representations, that—
(a)the information presented to the court discloses a prima facie breach of the interdict by that person; and
