151 Certain warrants stay 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.
