Extradition

Section 2(6)(b) of the Extradition Act 2003 required “particulars of the conviction” to be given in the warrant. What s 2(6)(b) required was underlying evidence, of an enforceable judgment or decision in a civil law system where a judgment had not become final, and so enforceable, until a short period of time had elapsed after it had been pronounced. Evidence of that judgment could be given by identifying the court in which the judgment had been given, the file number of the case in which it was given, the particulars of the offence of which an individual was convicted and the date on which the judgment, which later became final, had been given.
