Extradition

Chodorek v District Court of Kielce, Poland [2017] EWHC 995 (Admin), [2017] All ER (D) 29 (May)

The Administrative Court allowed the appellant’s appeal against orders for his extradition to Poland to serve a sentence of 6 months and 27 days. There was uncertainty about whether, inevitably, the appellant had been acting dishonestly in having withdrawn funds he did not have from his bank account and extradition would, just, be a disproportionate interference with the rights of the appellant and his family under art 8 of the European Convention on Human Rights.
