(1)A justice of the peace in the United Kingdom, on the application of a constable who states on oath—
(a)that he has reason to believe that a warrant has been issued by a judicial authority in the Republic for the arrest of a person accused or convicted of an indictable offence against the laws of the Republic, but that the warrant is not yet in his possession; and

(2)A provisional warrant issued in any part of the United Kingdom shall be treated for the purposes of any enactment or rule of law relating to warrants of arrest as if it were a warrant for the arrest of a person charged with an offence committed in that part, but the warrant shall not be authority for the making of an arrest more than [F2seven days] after the date of its issue.
(3)So soon as is practicable after a person is arrested under a provisional warrant he shall be brought before a magistrates’ court, and—
(a)if there is produced to the court the warrant issued in respect of him in the Republic, endorsed in accordance with section 1 of this Act, the court shall proceed as if he had been arrested under that warrant;
(b)in any other case the court may remand him for not more than [F3seven days].
(4)Where at any time there is produced to a constable having custody of a person remanded under this section the warrant issued in respect of that person in the Republic, endorsed in accordance with section 1 of this Act, the period of the remand shall determine, and he shall thereafter be treated as if arrested at that time under that warrant.
(5)If the period of a remand under this section is not determined under subsection (4) thereof the person remanded shall be discharged at the end of the period.
(6)As respects Scotland subsections (4) and (5) of this section shall not apply, but if a warrant issued and endorsed as aforesaid in respect of a person remanded under this section is not produced within the period of the remand to the court which remanded him, he shall be discharged.
