(1) Where a fugitive is brought before him or her under section 12, the magistrate shall, despite that section 6 appears to apply to the fugitive, issue a warrant for the committal of the fugitive to prison if—
(a) when the fugitive is alleged to have been convicted of an extradition crime and to have been unlawfully at large, such evidence is produced before the magistrate as would, in accordance with the law of Saint Lucia, as modified by this Act, satisfy him or her that the fugitive has been so convicted and was unlawfully at large; or
(b) when the fugitive is accused of an extradition crime, such evidence is produced before the magistrate as would, in accordance with the law of Saint Lucia as modified by this Act, justify the committal of the fugitive for trial had the extradition crime occurred in Saint Lucia.
(2) Upon committal of a fugitive to prison under subsection (1), he or she shall remain there until he or she is surrendered to the Commonwealth country or foreign State that is seeking his or her surrender or until he or she is discharged according to law.
