RE: Meaning of prisoner on remand
Wed 05-May-10 04:28 PM |
I am not a criminal lawyer, but I am not aware of anything which suggests that "remand " is a term of art. The OED defines remand as verb place (a defendant) on bail or in custody, especially when a trial is adjourned. • noun a committal to custody.
The point is that this person has not been convicted of any offence, but he was imprisoned by another jurisdiction, so I think you could argue that he has been remanded in custody.
As for corroboration, its been accpeted in a number of cases that corroboration may not be necessary (see for example R(I)2/51 R(SB)33/85, CH/4065/2001, CP/3037/3004)
