Section 117: Extradition where no appeal
335.This section provides the time limits for extraditing a person who is subject to an extradition order and has not appealed against the decision. Subsection (1) states that this section applies where the Secretary of State has ordered the person's extradition and no appeal has been lodged within 14 days, ignoring any powers of a court to extend the period for giving notice of appeal or to grant leave to take a step out of time (see subsection (4)). The person must be extradited within 28 days of the date on which the order was made (subsection (2)). The judge must, on a person's application, order his discharge if this deadline is not met, unless reasonable cause is shown for the delay (subsection (3)).
