Extradition Act 2003 Explanatory Notes

Section 189: Re-extradition to category 2 territories

543.Where this section applies by virtue of section 187(7), the provisions of this Act apply to the proceedings as if it were a Part 2 case. The Act is to be applied in the same way as if a valid extradition request has been made in respect of the person, having been convicted of a specified offence, and as if the re-extradition hearing was the extradition hearing under Part 2. In these circumstances some modification of the Part 2 provisions are required, which are set out in Part 2 of Schedule 1 to the Act.
