(1)A person arrested under a section 2 warrant shall be brought before a competent court as soon as is practicable.

(a)that the warrant—
(i)is a warrant of the ICC and has been duly endorsed under section 2(3), or
(ii)has been duly issued under section 2(4), and
(b)that the person brought before the court is the person named or described in the warrant,
it shall make a delivery order.
(3)A “delivery order” is an order that the person be delivered up—

in accordance with arrangements made by the Secretary of State.
(4)In the case of a person alleged to have committed an ICC crime, the competent court may adjourn the proceedings pending the outcome of any challenge before the ICC to the admissibility of the case or to the jurisdiction of the ICC.
(5)In deciding whether to make a delivery order the court is not concerned to enquire—
(a)whether any warrant issued by the ICC was duly issued, or
(b)in the case of a person alleged to have committed an ICC crime, whether there is evidence to justify his trial for the offence he is alleged to have committed.
(6)Whether or not it makes a delivery order, the competent court may of its own motion, and shall on the application of the person arrested, determine—
