| Description | | - Thematic arrangement of material provides clear, step-by-step coverage of the law affecting each stage of the extradition process
- Covers both the new Extradition Act 2003 and the transitional provisions of the Extradition Act 1989 - ensuring all relevant legislation is easily accessible
- User-friendly index of cases by subject matter
- Includes useful Internet sites from which conventions and treaties can be obtained
| Extradition legislation and cases can be very difficult to locate - particularly when you require quick and easy access to authorities. As the only dedicated sourcebook available, this new Handbook brings together for the first time legislation and relevant case law covering the European Convention on Extradition, Commonwealth, and treaty countries and UN Conventions. Sections on Human Rights
implications and war crimes tribunals are also included, as well as useful appendix materials.
Based on their experience and insight into the needs of the practitioner, the authors have created a valuable reference tool, which offers the key source materials, and a reliable and rigorous selection of relevant cases required for extradition practice. The Handbook is also perfectly suited to
non-specialists with an interest in this field, as well as practitioners in Commonwealth & overseas dependent territories seeking a clear understanding of how extradition proceedings are conducted in the UK. |
Readership: Solicitors, Barristers, Judges, Government Lawyers, and others dealing with extradition law in the UK and abroad; academics and students worldwide.
