Details

On 24th December 2020, just one week before the end of the transition period, the EU and UK brokered an agreement governing extradition between the UK and the Member States. That agreement is contained in Part 3 of the UK-EU Trade and Cooperation Agreement (‘the TCA’), at Title VII, and applies to those who are arrested after 2300 on 31st December 2020.

The TCA substantially replicates the Council Framework Decision 2002/584/JHA, but this is not to say that extradition to EU Member States will continue almost unchanged. There are some important and potentially radical differences between the wording of the two schemes, and the potential impact of the change in legal context should not be underestimated.

In the second edition of A Practical Guide to Extradition Law Post-Brexit, current and former members of Temple Garden Chambers’ extradition team provide a guide to the operation of Part 1 of the Extradition Act 2003 (‘the 2003 Act’) in this new era, highlighting areas of continuity and change and the key developments in extradition law since 2021. They also introduce practitioners to cases under Part 2 of the 2003 Act, giving a clear and concise explanation of the procedural and substantive differences between the two regimes.

“This book is timely, and practitioners will find it of great use... it is well-researched, well-expressed, easy to follow and practical in its focus... I commend it to all lawyers in the field.” – from the Foreword by the Right Honourable Sir Stephen Irwin
