Territorial Application: Wales Part 2 .Extradition to Category 2 Territories Section 129: Consent to other offence being dealt with
364.This section applies where a person has been extradited to a category 2 territory and the Secretary of State receives a valid request for consent to prosecute the person for an offence other than the offence for which he was extradited (subsection (1)). A valid request is one made by a recognised authority (subsection (2)). The Secretary of State must serve notice on the person that he has received a request for consent, unless it would not be practicable to do so (subsection (3)).
365.The Secretary of State must decide whether the offence to which the request for consent relates is an extradition offence (subsection (4)). If he decides it is not, he must refuse consent (subsection (5)). If he decides that it is, he must then decide whether the appropriate judge would send the case to him under sections 79 to 91, if the person were in the United Kingdom and the judge were required to proceed under section 79 in respect of the offence in question. If the Secretary of State decides that the judge would not send the case to him in these circumstances, he must refuse consent (subsections (6) and (7)).
366.If the Secretary of State decides that the judge would send the case to him, he must then decide whether extradition in respect of the offence would be prohibited by section 94 (death penalty), 95 (speciality) or 96 (earlier extradition), if the person were in the United Kingdom (subsection (5)). If the Secretary of State decides that extradition would be prohibited for any of these reasons, then consent must be refused (subsection (9)). If the Secretary of State is satisfied that the extradition would not be barred, then consent may be given (subsection (10)).
