25 Documents having effect as warrants, &cU.K.
(1)For the purposes of this Part the copy of a warrant issued by the ICC that is transmitted to the Secretary of State shall be treated as if it were the original warrant.
(2)Where facsimile transmission is used—
(a)for the making of a request by the ICC or the transmission of any supporting documents, or
(b)for the transmission of any document in consequence of such a request,
this Part applies as if the documents so sent were the originals of the documents so transmitted.
Any such document shall be receivable or, in Scotland, admissible in evidence accordingly.
(3)Where the ICC amends a warrant of arrest, the provisions of this Part apply to the amended warrant as if it were a new warrant.
This does not affect the validity of anything done in reliance on the old warrant.
