48 Notification to court that bail condition not satisfied
(1) This section applies to a person who has been granted bail by a court
but who has remained in custody since bail was granted because a
condition of the bail has not been complied with.
(2) The person in charge of the correctional centre or other place where
the person is in custody must give the court written notice that the
person remains in custody because of the failure to comply with a bail
condition.
(3) The notice must be given to the court not later than 7 days after the
day the person is received into custody.
(4) To remove any doubt, the court to which a notice is given under
subsection (2) may, on its own initiative, conduct a review under
section 46 of the condition on which bail was granted.
(5) A notice under this section is required to be given only once in
relation to any particular grant of bail.
(6) A regulation may prescribe information that is to be given to a court
with a notice under this section.
