If, from the absence of witnesses or any other reasonable cause to be recorded in the proceedings, the court considers it necessary or advisable to postpone the commencement of or to adjourn any trial, the court may, from time to time, postpone or adjourn the same on such terms as it thinks fit for such time as it considers reasonable, and may remand the accused to the prison or other place of security, or may admit the accused to bail. During any remand the court may, at any time, order the accused to be brought before it.
Subject to subsection (1), when the accused is given in charge to the jury the trial shall proceed continuously.
