The defendant faced in Germany allegations of VAT fraud. He appealed extradition, saying that some of the offences alleged related to acts in England.
Held: The Home Secretary would as appropriate attach his certificate to certain offences to say that they were not offences for which he had been extradited, and there was no reason for the defendant to expect that Germany would not comply with its convention obligation not to prosecute him for such offences. Nor would his extradition be a disproportionate interference in his rights to family life.
