Territorial Application: Wales Part 1 .Extradition to Category 1 Territories Section 9: Judge’s powers at extradition hearing
40.The section provides for the powers available to the judge at the extradition hearing under this Part of the Act.
41.The powers available to the judge at an extradition hearing in England & Wales are (as nearly as possible) the same as those available to a magistrates' court at a summary trial in England and Wales. In Scotland the judge has the same powers (as nearly as possible) as if the proceedings were summary proceedings; in Northern Ireland the judge has the same powers (as nearly as possible) as a magistrates' court would have in the hearing and determination of a complaint (subsections (1) to (3)). The judge therefore has the power to adjourn the hearing and remand a person in custody or on bail (subsections (4) and (5)).
