The case of Lauri Love.

Arnell, Paul

Abstract

Dr Paul Arnell writes on the the Forum Bar and Oppression in Extradition. On February 5, the High Court upheld Lauri Love's appeal against extradition to the US (Love v. US [2018] EWHC 172 (Admin)). His extradition had been ordered by the Home Secretary in November 2016. The case had been sent to her following a decision of District Judge Tempia at Westminster Magistrates' Court (US v. Love [2016] Lloyd's Rep FC 597). Love faced the daunting prospect of a trial (or in fact three trials) in the US and, if convicted, being sentenced for a term thought to be perhaps 10 years. Naturally, Love, his family and girlfriend and supporters are relieved and delighted. US prosecutors will be disappointed.
