Extradition

Goluchowski v District Court in Elblag, Poland; Sas v Circuit Court in Zielona Gora and District Court in Jelenia Gora, Poland [2016] UKSC 36; [2016] All ER (D) 171 (Jun)

 

The Supreme Court held that a European arrest warrant (EAW) was not defective for the purposes of s 2(6)(c) of the Extradition Act 2003 if it did not give particulars of domestic warrants issued in the category 1 territory to enforce a judgment or order within the issuing state. Where there existed such an enforceable judgment or equivalent decision, there was no reason why there should necessarily be any domestic warrant or equivalent and, if there was, there was no obvious reason why it should also be required to be evidenced in the EAW.
