Edward Grange & Rebecca Niblock examine the key changes & similarities to extradition law following Brexit
  • The introduction of new surrender arrangements under the EU-UK Trade and Cooperation Agreement.
  • Changes effected under the Extradition (Provisional Arrest) Act 2020.

In 2013, we wrote a practitioner’s guide to extradition law (Extradition Law: A Practitioner’s Guide, Legal Action Group, 2013). Given that extradition is a fast-moving area of law, our second edition followed fairly quickly, and was published in 2015. It wasn’t, however, until 2021 that we were able to produce a third edition of the book, which was published last month. The reason for the longer gap came, of course, as a result of the 23 June 2016 referendum decision; although we had thought the outcome as regards the extradition arrangements between the EU and the UK would become clear by 29 March 2019, this date was pushed back to 31 December 2020.

This article looks at two of the legislative changes brought about since

NLJ this week: When ‘milk’ really means milk
The Supreme Court has drawn a firm line under branding creativity in regulated markets.
