The imposition of European Convention on Human Rights standards in extradition.

Arnell, Paul

Abstract

Discusses Morrow (Sarah Lynn) v HM Advocate (HCJ Appeal) refusing a US national leave to appeal against a decision that there was no bar to her extradition to stand trial in the US on charges of defrauding her former employer, finding that her rights under ECHR arts 3 and 6(2) would not be breached were she to be extradited, and that she had not met the test for oppression by reason of the passage of time.
