General Principles
Warrant of Remand
A person who has been held in custody to be brought before a judge and justice and there is no decision made to either grant or deny bail, s. 516 (or s. 537 if a preliminary inquiry judge) permits the accused is the held under Remand Order under Form 19 to a fixed date.[1]
- Remand to Jail or Penitentiary
The court has jurisdiction under s. 516(1) to order remand to a provincial jail or federal penitentiary based on the wording of section 516 which permits remounted to a “prison”.[2]
A person on remand should be held in a provincial jail. Only in “exceptional circumstances” should a judge remand an accused to a federal penitentiary.[3]

List of Criminal Code Forms

- ↑ Melvin, ibid.
Warrant of Committal
A warrant of committal under Form 8 can be issued by a judge or justice pending disposition of outstanding charges on the basis that:
- (a) the prosecutor has shown cause why the detention of the accused in custody is justified [515(5)];
- (b) an order has been made that the accused be released on (giving an undertaking or entering into a recognizance) but the accused has not yet complied with the order [519(1), 520(9), 521(10), 524(12), 525(8)];**
- (c) the application by the prosecutor for a review of the order of a justice in respect of the interim release of the accused has been allowed and that order has been vacated, and the prosecutor has shown cause why the detention of the accused in custody is justified [521];
- (d) the accused has contravened or was about to contravene his (promise to appear or undertaking or recognizance) and the same was cancelled, and the detention of the accused in custody is justified or seems proper in the circumstances [524(4), 524(8)];
- (e) there are reasonable grounds to believe that the accused has after his release from custody on (a promise to appear or an undertaking or a recognizance) committed an indictable offence and the detention of the accused in custody is justified or seems proper in the circumstances [524(4), 524(8)];
- (f) the accused has contravened or was about to contravene the (undertaking or recognizance) on which he was released and the detention of the accused in custody seems proper in the circumstances [525(7), 679(6)];
- (g) there are reasonable grounds to believe that the accused has after his release from custody on (an undertaking or a recognizance) committed an indictable offence and the detention of the accused in custody seems proper in the circumstances [525(7), 679(6)];
The duration of the warrant of committal is described as ending once the accused is "delivered by due course of law".
Section 493 defines warrant:
493 In this Part [Pt. XVI – Compelling Appearance of an Accused Before a Justice and Interim Release (ss. 493 to 529.5)],
...
"warrant", when used in relation to a warrant for the arrest of a person, means a warrant in Form 7 [forms] and, when used in relation to a warrant for the committal of a person, means a warrant in Form 8 [forms].

Taking an Accused Before a Justice
Adjourning Bail Hearing
On application of the prosecutor, a judge has the discretion to delay a bail hearing by up to three days without the consent of the accused. (s. 516)
- Remand in custody
516 (1) A justice may, before or at any time during the course of any proceedings under section 515 [judicial interim release provisions], on application by the prosecutor or the accused, adjourn the proceedings and remand the accused to custody in prison by warrant in Form 19 [forms], but no adjournment shall be for more than three clear days except with the consent of the accused.

[annotation(s) added]
When requested, a judge "is obliged to grant a reasonable opportunity" for the Crown to show cause.[1]
When an accused adjourns show cause, the judge must issue a Warrant of Remand under s. 516 using Form 19.
A judge may also adjourn show cause under s. 537, which will also require a Warrant of Remand under Form 19.
"Clear days" is defined and calculated under section 27 of the Interpretation Act.
