Section 50: Other warrant issued: proceedings deferred
144.The context of this section is that a person has consented to his extradition under a Part 1 warrant but has not yet been extradited. This section applies if the judge is then informed that a competing Part 1 warrant has been issued and he orders, under section 48(3)(b), that further proceedings on the first warrant be deferred until the competing warrant has been disposed of (subsection (1)).
145.In these circumstances the judge must remand the person in custody or on bail. If he remands the person in custody he may later grant bail (subsections (2) and (3)).
146.If an order is subsequently made under section 180 for the deferred proceedings on the first warrant to be resumed, the judge then has 10 days from the time that order is made to order the person's extradition, under subsection (4).
