(ii) a person has been remanded after being arrested under a provisional arrest warrant and an indorsed New Zealand warrant has been obtained in relation to the person; and
(b) a request is made to a magistrate or eligible Judge by or on behalf of the person or New Zealand for proceedings to be conducted under this section;
the magistrate or Judge shall, unless the magistrate or Judge makes an order under subsection ( 2):
(c) by warrant in accordance with subsection 38(1), order that the person be surrendered to New Zealand; and
(d) by warrant in the statutory form, order that, pending the execution of the warrant referred to in paragraph ( c), the person be committed to prison.
(2) If the magistrate or Judge is satisfied by the person that, because:
(a) the offence in relation to which any indorsed New Zealand warrant in relation to the person was issued is of a trivial nature;
(b) if that offence is an offence of which the person is accused--the accusation was not made in good faith or in the interests of justice; or
(c) a lengthy period has elapsed since that offence was committed or allegedly committed;
or for any other reason, it would be unjust, oppressive or too severe a punishment to surrender the person to New Zealand, the magistrate or Judge shall order that the person be released.
