Part 4A: Forced marriage

The court before which an arrested person is brought ... by virtue of a warrant issued under section 63J may, if the matter is not then disposed of immediately, remand the person concerned.

Schedule 5 has effect in relation to the powers of the court to remand a person by virtue of this section but as if the following modifications were made to the Schedule.

The modifications are that—

in paragraph 2(1) of Schedule 5, the reference to section 47 is to be read as a reference to this section; and
in paragraph 2(5)(b) of the Schedule, the reference to section 48(1) is to be read as a reference to section 63L(1).

Subsection (5) applies if a person remanded under this section is granted bail under Schedule 5 as modified above.

The person may be required by the relevant judge to comply, before release on bail or later, with such requirements as appear to the relevant judge to be necessary to secure that the person does not interfere with witnesses or otherwise obstruct the course of justice.
