The defendant appealed against an order granting her extradition to Norway.
Held: Though the defendant had not raised the issue of the required double criminality before the district judge, she would be allowed to do so on appeal because of the threat to her liberty. She was charged with an offence of ‘causing a minor to be unlawfully . . kept abducted’. The charge was not to be amplified by the statement of facts supplied with the request. The appeal was allowed.
