(This note is not part of the Order)
Part 4 of the Extradition Act 2003 sets out powers available to the police in extradition cases. Article 2 of this Order applies sections 54, 55, 56 and 58 of the Police and Criminal Evidence Act 1984 to extradition cases where the circumstances described in section 171(1) of the Extradition Act 2003 apply. This is where a person is arrested under an extradition arrest power and is detained at a police station.
The sections are modified to substitute “offence” with “relevant offence”. A relevant offence is the offence for which extradition is sought. Provisions in the Police and Criminal Evidence Act 1984 relating to the proceeds of crime have been omitted.
