‘Balancing the interference with private and family life of the person whose extradition is sought with the public interest in extradition: Has the pendulum swung too far?’

This case combined six appeals of extradition hearings that had been held under Part 1 of the Extradition Act 2003. In all of the hearings the courts at first instance had heard Article 8 of the European Convention on Human Rights arguments, taken different factors into account, and made decisions based on proportionality. The issue on appeal was whether the district judge had correctly applied his or her discretion in each case.
