Amendments Nos. 37 to 42, inclusive, amend this section, which inserts a new section16(a) into the 2003 Act. This new section provides that where the prescribed time limits are not met, that failure does not constitute a ground to refuse surrender, does not prejudice the requirement for the court to make a decision as to whether to endorse an arrest warrant for execution and does not preclude the continued detention of the person under the 2003 Act.

Following legal advice, the two provisions to be inserted in section 16(a) by section 11 of this Bill that provide that failure does not prejudice the requirement for the court to make a decision as to whether to endorse an arrest warrant for execution are not now required. Amendments Nos. 39 and 42 delete these provisions and amendments Nos. 37, 38, 40 and 41 are administrative, textual amendments arising from that deletion.
