103.—(1) Paragraphs (2) to (5) apply where—
(a)the offender is brought before a judge advocate under rule 102; or
(b)the keeping of the offender in service custody has been authorised by an order under paragraph (2) and he is brought before a judge advocate before the expiry of the period for which it was so authorised.
(2) The judge advocate may by order authorise the keeping (or further keeping) of the offender in service custody if satisfied that there are substantial grounds for believing that, if released from service custody, the person would fail to attend the court as required.
(3) The period for which the judge advocate may, by an order under paragraph (2), authorise the keeping of the offender in service custody is such period, ending not later than 8 days after the day on which the order is made, as the judge advocate considers appropriate in all the circumstances.
(4) If the judge advocate makes no order under paragraph (2), the offender must be released from service custody without delay; but this is subject to paragraph (5).
(5) The judge advocate may require the offender to comply, before release or later, with such requirements as appear necessary to secure his attendance before the court.
(6) Where the keeping of the offender in service custody is authorised by an order under paragraph (2), he must be released on the expiry of the period for which it was so authorised unless a judge advocate has made a further order under that paragraph.
(7) Any requirement imposed by virtue of paragraph (5) may be varied or discharged by a judge advocate on application by the offender.
(8) Section 107(5) and (6) shall apply in relation to a requirement imposed by virtue of paragraph (5) as they apply in relation to a requirement imposed by virtue of section 107(3)(a).
