(b)in relation to a magistrates’ court, any person who has been convicted by the court of an offence punishable on summary conviction with imprisonment and any person charged with such an offence if the court is satisfied that he did the act or made the omission charged or he has consented to the exercise by the court of the powers conferred by this section.

(5)Where a court has remanded an accused person under this section it may further remand him if it appears to the court, on the written or oral evidence of the [F2approved clinician]F2 responsible for making the report, that a further remand is necessary for completing the assessment of the accused person’s mental condition.
(6)The power of further remanding an accused person under this section may be exercised by the court without his being brought before the court if he is represented by [F3an authorised person who]F3 is given an opportunity of being heard.
(7)An accused person shall not be remanded or further remanded under this section for more than 28 days at a time or for more than 12 weeks in all; and the court may at any time terminate the remand if it appears to the court that it is appropriate to do so.
