Where committal is ordered "until the further order of the Court" the court retains jurisdiction to entertain applications for release under O.44A r.4(2); however release is discretionary and may be refused where the defendant fails to provide frank disclosure or security; on the facts the defendant's application was dismissed and he remained remanded until further order.
