Extradition Process

The Extradition process is extremely complex and requires specialist legal advice to ensure that you present the best case for resisting extradition.  The process depends on whether the country requesting your surrender falls under Part 1 or Part 2 of the Extradition Act 2003.

In all cases there will be an initial hearing and an extradition hearing which will take place at Westminster Magistrates Court.  Depending on the outcome of the extradition hearing there may grounds for appeal to the High Court.
