A not guilty plea was entered to a charge of breaching post detention.
Mr Steedman said the matter of perverting the course of justice would need reviewing before any further action could be taken.
He told the court there would be no application for bail and his client was happy for all matters to be dealt with together.
Judge Tim Black remanded Farley in custody until February next year for sentencing and a case review.
Farley appeared in a black T-shirt with a bald head and goatee.
He showed no expression and kept his eyes on the judge throughout the appearance.
In March 2013, media in Canada reported Farley had kidnapped a sex worker in Vancouver and driven her to a secluded area where she was tied up and beaten.
Witnesses called 911 after seeing the 41-year-old victim being dragged behind a white van.
Police said the woman had jumped from the moving vehicle.
Farley was charged with eight offences including aggravated sexual assault, assault causing bodily harm and kidnapping.
He was sentenced to 22 months' imprisonment.
Palmerston North police worked with Interpol to have Farley extradited to New Zealand. He was deported last month and appeared in the Manukau District Court on November 9.
At the time of his escape, Detective Sergeant David Thompson said Farley had taken "extensive steps" to evade capture and had left New Zealand the same day he removed the bracelet.
The Vancouver Courier said Farley had lived illegally in Canada under the pseudonym Robert James Clarke while working as a handyman.
