Auzins v Prosecutor General’s Office of the Republic of Latvia [2016] EWHC 802 (Admin), [2016] All ER (D) 93 (Apr)

The Divisional Court dismissed the appellant’s appeal against orders for his extradition to Latvia to face prosecution for four thefts alleged to have been committed in 2007. In particular, it rejected the submission that he should have been discharged because the issue of his surrender was res judicata on account of his discharge in Scotland in extradition proceedings for substantially the same matters, as the principle of res judicata had no application in extradition proceedings.
