Regulation 3
1.—(1) This paragraph applies to any person (“P”) to whom paragraph 13(1) of Schedule 10 to the 2016 Act applies on 20 November 2017.
(2) From that date P is to be treated, for the purposes of the provision by virtue of which paragraph 13(1) applies, instead as having been granted immigration bail under paragraph 1 of that Schedule.
(3) Any condition or restriction that was attached to P’s admission or release is to be treated as a condition of immigration bail imposed under paragraph 2 of Schedule 10 until such time as—
(a)the condition or restriction is varied under paragraph 6 of that Schedule (whereupon it will become a condition under paragraph 2 of that Schedule), or
(b)the grant of immigration bail ends in accordance with paragraph 1(8) of that Schedule (whereupon the condition or restriction will also end).
(4) If P has been granted immigration bail by a court or tribunal, then that bail is to be deemed to be a grant of immigration bail by the First-tier Tribunal under paragraph 1(3) of Schedule 10.
(5) If sub-paragraph (4) does not apply to P then P will be deemed to have been granted immigration bail by the Secretary of State under paragraph 1(1) or (2) of Schedule 10.
2.—(1) This paragraph applies where, before 20 November 2017, a person—
(a)entered into a recognizance either on his own behalf or as a surety for another, or
(b)in Scotland, entered into a bail bond on his own behalf or as cautioner for another,
in respect of a grant of bail under Schedule 2 to the 1971 Act, and is thereby liable, after 20 November 2017, to forfeit a sum of money in accordance with the terms of the recognizance or bail bond if a condition of that bail is breached.
(2) The recognizance or bail bond is to be treated for the purposes of Schedule 10 to the 2016 Act as if it were a “financial condition” as defined by paragraph 5(1) of that Schedule and as if it were imposed under paragraph 2 of that Schedule, notwithstanding the fact that it may not comply with the provisions of paragraph 5(3) of that Schedule.
(3) A grant of bail which is subject to such a recognizance or bail bond may not be the subject of a direction by the First-tier Tribunal under paragraph 6(3) of Schedule 10.
