The other possible justification is that there has been a lawful arrest, in which case imprisonment and confinement of persons remanded in custody pending a hearing or for questioning, etc, is authorised by statute (see the Police and Criminal Evidence Act 1984 (PACE)). If the grounds for arrest exist, then the claimant must be informed of the arrest, Christie v Leachinsky [1947] AC 573, and s 28 PACE 1984, and taken to a designated police station as soon as practicable, s 30 and John Lewis v Tims [1952] AC 676.
