Section 239 of the Magistrates Code of Procedure Act requires that a remanded detainee be physically produced before a Magistrate every eight days, with the Magistrate empowered to consider bail and inquire into the prisoner's welfare at each appearance. The judge noted that prior to the COVID-19 pandemic, a Magistrate would visit the prison to conduct remands in person, but that practice was never restored after the state of emergency was lifted. The court found the failure to comply with section 239 deprived Worrell of substantive constitutional safeguards, including the opportunity for a welfare inquiry and timely consideration of bail. Court rules pandemic-era remand practice unconstitutional, awards prisoner $10,000
