Evans LJ
Extradition
An extradition request came from the United States. The applicant resisted saying that the conviction was not final. Held: The court should examine the nature of the conviction itself. The conviction of the fugitive in his absence was treated as final because if he were returned the court would have a discretion whether or not to set that conviction aside. Evans LJ said: "The question is, does the applicant have a right to trial of the alleged or admitted extradition crime, notwithstanding the conviction which has been recorded?"

Stuart-Smith LJ
Immigration, Extradition
The question was whether the Secretary of State was entitled to treat a woman who had obtained naturalisation as the wife of a British citizen as an illegal entrant on the basis that her husband was not in fact a British citizen. Held: he was not so entitled. A registered or naturalised citizen is a British citizen and his Citizenship certificate remains valid until it is withdrawn under a s40 order. Stuart-Smith LJ: "A person who has acquired British citizenship by registration or certificate of naturalisation can … be deprived of his citizenship as a result of conduct that led to the grant of registration or naturalisation, or because of certain conduct thereafter. Subsequent conduct is dealt with in section 40(3) and consists of (a) disloyalty or disaffection to the Queen, (b) trading or communicating with the enemy in time of war or (c) imprisonment for twelve months or more within five years of the date when the person became a British citizen. We are not concerned with this subsection."
