Tappin v Government of the United States of America [2012] EWHC 22 (Admin), [2012] All ER (D) 47 (Jan)

 

In considering a request for extradition, it was established by authority that oppression was directed to the hardship to persons resulting from changes in their circumstances during the period to be taken into consideration, but that oppression and injustice might overlap. Where the responsibility lay for any delay was not generally relevant, since what mattered was the effect of those events which would not have happened if the trial had been conducted with ordinary promptitude. The test of oppression would not easily be satisfied and required hardship greater than that inevitably inherent in the act of extradition.
