Part 2: Powers exercisable before passing sentence — CHAPTER 3: Remission to youth court or other magistrates' court for sentence

This section applies where the Crown Court remits an offender to a youth court under section 25 or a magistrates’ court under section 25A.

The Crown Court may, subject to section 25 of the Criminal Justice and Public Order Act 1994 (restrictions on granting bail), give such directions as appear to be necessary—

with respect to the custody of the offender, or
for the offender's release on bail,

until the offender can appear or be brought before the youth court or magistrates’ court.

The offender—

has no right of appeal against the order of remission, but
has the same right of appeal against an order of the youth court or magistrates’ court as if convicted by that court.
