Commentary on Sections Part 12: Extradition Section 167: Proceedings on deferred warrant or request etc
489.This section amends sections 180 and 181 of the 2003 Act to ensure that in cases where there are competing extradition requests and one case has been deferred pending the outcome of the other, a judge can only resume proceedings in the deferred cases, or order that extradition is no longer deferred, in cases where the competing request has been disposed of in the requested person’s favour.
