Norris, Regina (on the Application of) v Secretary of State for the Home Department: Admn 24 Feb 2006

The claimant challenged his extradition to the US saying that it was wrong for the US to continue to be listed as a designated country for extradition under section 84.
Held: The fact that the US had not yet ratified the treaty under which a UK citizen could be extradited to the US without establishment of a prima facie case, and that therefore the arrangements were not reciprocal, did not undermine their simple applicability here. The claim for judicial review failed.
