McCowan LJ
Extradition
Justices may not hear evidence from accomplices in extradition proceedings. Also foreign intercept evidence may be used in support of extradition proceedings. Extradition proceedings are not criminal proceedings as such, but may be sui generis. Section 69 had no application to extradition proceedings so as to allow the admission of computer print-outs, and nor did section 78.

ECHR
Human Rights, Extradition
The Commission considered the admissibility of a claim that extradition to Russia on suspicion of murder had infringed the applicant's Convention rights. After finding ill-founded a complaint based on article 3 the Commission went on to consider the applicant's complaint that extradition had interfered with her married life in Austria, thereby violating her article 8 rights. The Commission held: "the interference with the applicant's family life was proportionate to the legitimate aim pursued, given the seriousness of the crime, of which the applicant was suspected even before she contracted marriage in Austria."
