Extradition Act 2003

Territorial Application: Wales

Part 3 .Extradition to the United Kingdom

Section 147: Effect of consent to extradition to the United Kingdom

418.This section applies where a person is extradited to the United Kingdom under a Part 3 warrant with his consent. The speciality protection in section 146(2) does not apply if the conditions in subsection (3) or the conditions in subsection (4) are met (subsection (2)).

419.The conditions in subsection (3) are that the effect of the person's consent under the law of the category 1 territory is that he waives his right to the speciality protection given in section 146(2) and he has not revoked that consent (if permitted to do so under the law of that country).

420.Alternatively (subsection (4)), where the effect of his consent to extradition is not to waive his speciality rights, the person must have expressly waived his speciality rights under the law of that country. Additionally, he must not have revoked either his consent to extradition or the waiver of his speciality rights, if the law of that country so allows.
