Procedure for fixing a hearing

4.—(1) The court (“the first court”) is to fix a diet for a hearing of the matter (“the contempt hearing”) by a differently constituted court (“the other court”).

(2) The diet is to be fixed to take place no later than the third court day following the date on which the alleged contempt occurred.

(3) At the same time as fixing the diet for the contempt hearing, the first court is to—

(a)ascertain the relevant person’s current address; and

(b)either—

(i)ordain the relevant person to appear at the contempt hearing; or

(ii)exercise its power to remand that person in custody until that hearing.

(4) Where the court remands the relevant person in custody it is to advise the relevant person that legal aid may be available.
