Extradition

The authorities supported an argument that s 2(6) of the Extradition Act 2003 should not be interpreted in such a way as to introduce formalities not required by the Council Framework Decision on the European Arrest Warrant and the surrender procedures between member states. Further, while a warrant had to allow an appellant to understand what he had been convicted of and what he had been sentenced for, the absence of information regarding suspension did not realistically prevent him from identifying whether an argument based on the passage of time might be available.
