Once a judge cancels a prior release order, they must make a detention order. No show cause hearing is needed before doing so.<ref>

Once cancelled the "second stage" of the 524 process says that the accused must be given reasonable opportunity to show cause as to why his detention should not be justified within the meaning of s. 515(10).<Ref>

A 524 detention order is different from a 516 order of remand whereby a 524 detention order does not have a 3 day limit in the same way as a 516 remand order.<ref>

; Section 469 Offences
When an accused is granted bail in relation to any charge of murder (or any s 469 offences) and the accused is subsequently arrested for breach of recognizance, "the superior court has jurisdiction, whether under section 524(4) or under section 521 of the Criminal Code, to revoke the accused's bail on the murder charges”.<ref>
