2Orders in Council as to arrangements for extradition

(1)Where general extradition arrangements have been made, Her Majesty may, by Order in Council reciting or embodying their terms, direct that extradition procedures shall be available as between the United Kingdom and the foreign state, or any foreign state, with whom they have been made, subject to the limitations, restrictions, exceptions and qualifications, if any, contained in the Order.

(2)An Order in Council under this section shall not be made unless the general extradition arrangements to which it relates—

(a)provide for their determination after the expiration of a notice given by a party to them and not exceeding one year or for their denunciation by means of such a notice; and

(b)are in conformity with the provisions of this Part of this Act, and in particular with the restrictions on return contained in this Part of this Act.

(3)An Order in Council under this section shall be conclusive evidence that the arrangements therein referred to comply with this Part of this Act and that this Part of this Act applies in the case of the foreign state, or any foreign state, mentioned in the Order.

(4)An Order in Council under this section shall be laid before Parliament after being made.

(5)An Order in Council under this section which does not provide that a person may only be returned to the foreign state requesting his return if the court before which he is brought under section 6 below is satisfied that the evidence would be sufficient to warrant his trial if the extradition crime had taken place within the jurisdiction of the court shall be subject to annulment in pursuance of a resolution of either House of Parliament.

(6)On the commencement of this Part of this Act the power conferred by section 2 of the [1870 c. 52.] Extradition Act 1870 to direct that that Act shall apply in the case of a foreign state shall cease to be exercisable, but nothing in this Part of this Act affects any Order in Council made under that section or the operation of any enactment in relation to a foreign state in whose case an Order in Council under that section is in force.
