(1) Despite any power of the High Court to admit or direct the admission of persons to bail—
(a) the High Court may grant bail where a person has been committed in custody to the High Court for trial or sentence or has appealed to the High Court against conviction or sentence; or
(b) the High Court may grant bail or vary the conditions of bail where the magistrate withholds bail or imposes conditions in granting bail.
(2) Where the High Court grants bail to a defendant under subsection (1), it may direct him or her to appear at a time and place which the magistrate could have directed and the recognizance of any surety shall be conditioned accordingly.
(3) Where the High Court refuses bail to a defendant under subsection (1), and the defendant is not then in custody, the Court shall issue a warrant for the arrest of the defendant, and the defendant shall be brought before a magistrate who shall remand him or her in custody.
