Part 3: Powers for dealing with domestic abuse Schedule 1: Further provision about remand under section 40
Schedule 1 makes further provision about remand, whether on bail or in custody, of a person arrested for breach of a DAPO.
	Paragraph 5 gives the court the power to remand the perpetrator for the purposes of allowing a medical examination to take place and a report to be made. In such a case, the adjournment may not be for more than three weeks at a time if the perpetrator is remanded in custody and not for more than four weeks at a time if the perpetrator is remanded on bail.
	Paragraph 5(5) gives the court the same power as it has in respect of an accused person to make an order under section 35 of the Mental Health Act 1983 if it suspects that the perpetrator is suffering from a mental disorder. Section 35 of that Act enables a court to remand an individual to a hospital specified by the court for a report on his mental condition. Such a remand may not be for more than 28 days at a time or for more than 12 weeks in total.
	Under paragraph 8, when remanding a person on bail, the court may impose requirements which appear to the court as necessary to ensure that the person does not interfere with witnesses or otherwise obstruct the course of justice.
