Part V—Custody of persons in transit
31 Arrest of person in transit
(1) Any police officer may, without warrant, arrest a person if the police officer has reasonable grounds to believe that the person was being kept in custody pursuant to a direction under paragraph 29(1)(d) and has escaped from that custody.
(2) The police officer must, as soon as practicable, take the person before a Magistrate or eligible Federal Circuit Court Judge.
(3) If the Magistrate or Judge is satisfied that the person has escaped from lawful custody, the Magistrate or Judge may issue a warrant authorising any police officer to return the person to lawful custody.
4. If the person sought is being proceeded against or is serving a sentence in the requested State for a crime different from that for which surrender to the Court is sought, the requested State, after making its decision to grant the request, shall consult with the Court.
