- Course Aims:
This podcast aims to familiarise listeners with some of the current topics of debate in extradition circles concerning the new statutory framework governing extradition proceedings and decisions. Since the enactment of the Extradition Act 2003 many of the old discretions to refuse a request have been removed which has provoked debate among practitioners as to whether reform to introduce a general 'interests of justice' test is now necessary to protect individuals. This podcast also looks at the arguments in favour of introducing a presumption for the UK to prosecute its own nationals accused of offences abroad as an alternative to extradition.
