the person is remanded on bail and both that person and the person
who applied for the injunction consent to a longer period.
(2)
Where the judge or the court has power to remand a person in custody, the

be needed, and
(b)
15the judge or the court remands the person in order to enable a
medical examination to take place and a report to be made.

(3)
If the person is remanded on bail, the adjournment may not be for more than
204 weeks at a time.
6 (1) If the judge or the court—

suffering from mental disorder, and
(b)
25is of the opinion that it would be impracticable for a report on the
person’s mental condition to be made if he or she were remanded on
bail,
the judge or the court may remand the person to a hospital or registered
establishment specified by the judge or the court for such a report to be
30made.
(2) In sub-paragraph (1)—
-
“hospital” has the meaning given by section 145(1) of the Mental Health

“mental disorder” has the meaning given by section 1 of that Act
35(reading subsection (2B) of that section as if it included a reference to
sub-paragraph (1) above); -
“registered establishment” has the meaning given by 34(1) of that Act.
(3)
Subsections (4) to (10) of section 35 of the Mental Health Act 1983 apply for
the purposes of sub-paragraph (1) with any necessary modifications (in
40particular, with references to the accused person being read as references to
the person mentioned in that sub-paragraph, and references to the court
being read as references to the judge or the court).
Further remand
7
(1)
If the court is satisfied that a person who has been remanded is unable by
45reason of illness or accident to appear or be brought before the court at the
Anti-social Behaviour, Crime and Policing BillPage 111
end of the period of remand, the court may further remand the person in his
or her absence.
(2)
The power in sub-paragraph (1) may, in the case of a person who was
remanded on bail, be exercised by enlarging the person’s recognizance and
5those of any sureties for the person to a later time.
(3)
Where a person remanded on bail is bound to appear before the court at any
time and the court has no power to remand the person under sub-paragraph
(1), the court may (in the person’s absence) enlarge the person’s
recognizance and those of any sureties for the person to a later time.
(4)
10The enlargement of the person’s recognizance is to be treated as a further
remand.
(4)
Paragraph 4(1) (limit of remand) does not apply to the exercise of the powers
conferred by this paragraph.
Postponement of taking recognizance
8
15Where under paragraph 2(3)(b) the court fixes the amount in which the
principal and the sureties, if any, are to be bound, the recognizance may
afterwards be taken by a person prescribed by rules of court, with the same
consequences as if it had been entered into before the court.
Requirements imposed on remand on bail
9
20The court may when remanding a person on bail under this Schedule
require the person to comply, before release on bail or later, with any
requirements that appear to the court to be necessary to secure that the

justice.

5or description (subject, in the case of a number of days, to sub-paragraph
(2)).
(13)
A court may include an activity requirement in a supervision order or vary
an activity requirement under sub-paragraph (12) only if—

it has consulted the youth offending team that is to be, or is, specified
10in the order,
(b)
it is satisfied that it is feasible to secure compliance with the
requirement, or the requirement as varied,
(c)

offending team that is to be, or is, specified in the order, and
(d)
in a case where the requirement, or the requirement as varied, would

given by section 3 of the Children Act 1989) for a defaulter who—
(a) is in the authority’s care, or
(b)
25is provided with accommodation by the authority in the exercise of
social services functions (within the meaning given by section 1A of

before the beginning of the period when the electronic monitoring
requirement is to take effect, notify—
(a) 15the defaulter,
(b) the person responsible for the monitoring, and
(c) any person within sub-paragraph (3)(b),
of the time when that period is to begin.
(3) Where—
(a)
20it is proposed to include an electronic monitoring requirement in a
supervision order, but

operation it will not be practicable to secure that the monitoring
takes place,
25the requirement may not be included in the order without that person’s
consent.

An electronic monitoring requirement may not be included in a supervision
30order unless the court making the order—
(a)
has been notified by the youth offending team for the time being
specified in the order that arrangements for electronic monitoring
are available in the area that includes the place the court proposes to
specify in the order for the purposes of the curfew requirement, and
(b)
35is satisfied that the necessary provision can be made under the
arrangements currently available.
(6)
Where a supervision order contains an electronic monitoring requirement,
the court may, on the application of the original applicant or the defaulter,
amend the order by substituting a new period for the period specified in the
40order under this paragraph.
(7)
Sub-paragraph (3) applies in relation to the variation of an electronic
monitoring requirement under sub-paragraph (6) as it applies in relation to
the inclusion of a requirement.

supervision order by the original applicant or the defaulter, the court is
35satisfied that the defaulter proposes to live, or is living, in the area of a youth
offending team other than the team for the time being specified in the order.
(2)
If the application is made by the defaulter, the court may amend the order
by substituting for the youth offending team specified in the order the youth

40more than one youth offending team for that area, whichever of them the
court decides).

Anti-social Behaviour, Crime and Policing BillPage 118

but the order contains a requirement that, in the opinion of the court, cannot
reasonably be complied with if the defaulter lives in the area referred to in

(b)
substituting for that requirement a new requirement that can
reasonably be complied with if the defaulter lives in that area.

The circumstances referred to in sub-paragraph (2) include the conduct of
the defaulter.
