This Order designates prosecutors and descriptions of prosecutors as “designated prosecutors” for the purposes of sections 19F and 83E of the Extradition Act 2003 (“the 2003 Act”).
Sections 19B to 19F and 83A to 83E of the 2003 Act, as inserted by the Crime and Courts Act 2013, provide that the extradition of a person to category 1 or category 2 territories is barred by reason of forum if the extradition would not be in the interests of justice. If a designated prosecutor gives a prosecutor’s certificate, the judge hearing the proceedings must decide that extradition is not barred by reason of forum. The 2003 Act provides that any member of the Crown Prosecution Service is a designated prosecutor. This Order designates additional prosecutors and descriptions of prosecutors who are able to give a prosecutor’s certificate.
An impact assessment has not been produced for this Order as no impact on business, charities, voluntary agencies or the public sector is foreseen.
