Criminal Law | VHCC | Extradition

The firm has considerable experience in representing clients resisting extradition requests from all over the world. Working closely with top sets of London barristers we have protected client’s rights both in the City of Westminster Magistrates’ Court and the High Court.

We specialise in human rights law and interpreting international treaty obligations. Extradition law is largely governed by the 2003 Act which was enacted to accord with the European Council’s Framework Decision 2002. The act sets out court procedure and provides a number of bars to extradition.

This has been interpreted by the courts providing an extensive body of case law.  Human rights, health considerations and technical considerations about the warrant itself can all play a part in successfully defeating extradition requests. If you need help in this area do not hesitate to contact us.
