Certain warrants stay removal or deportation
(1) If an unlawful non‑citizen is to be, or is likely to be, removed or deported, this Act does not prevent a court issuing for the purposes of the administration of criminal justice in relation to an offence against a law a warrant to stay the removal or deportation. (2) If a criminal justice stay warrant about a non‑citizen is in force, the non‑citizen is not to be removed or deported. (3) If a court issues a criminal justice stay warrant about a non‑citizen, the applicant for the warrant is responsible for the costs of any maintenance or accommodation (other than immigration detention) of the non‑citizen while the warrant is in force.
