Without limiting any other powers of a judicial registrar, a judicial registrar may, subject to this Order—
grant an application to extend the bail of an accused, if the application is unopposed;
make an order for the remand or further remand of an accused where no application for bail is made;
vary any condition of bail by consent or where the application to vary is unopposed;
hear and determine an application to shorten the return date of, or the time for compliance with, a subpoena in a proceeding to which these Rules apply.
Note

For the avoidance of doubt, a judicial registrar does not have authority—
to hear and determine an application for the revocation of bail;
to hear and determine a contested application for bail;
subject to paragraph (1)(c), to vary any condition of bail; or
subject to paragraph (1)(b), to remand an accused.
