Proceedings when a respondent appears before a court other than the court that issued the warrant or summons

(2015) Rule 10 governs the procedure when a respondent is apprehended far enough away from the issuing court that transportation to that court before court closes is not practical. In such circumstances, law enforcement may bring the respondent to another court, and the matter will be adjudicated there as if the case had arisen there. This may cause issues with the petitioner's ability to arrive at the new court in a reasonable amount of time, and the use of remote testimony or the receipt of hearsay evidence maybe appropriate to balance the need for dispatch with the desire for the petitioner's participation.
