Territorial Application: Wales

Part 5 .Miscellaneous and General Provisions

Section 188: Re-extradition to category 1 territories

542.Where this section applies by virtue of section 187(6), the provisions of this Act apply to the proceedings as if it were a Part 1 case. The Act is to be applied in the same way as if a valid Part 1 warrant has been issued in respect of the person, having been convicted of a specified offence, and as if the re-extradition hearing was the extradition hearing under Part 1. In these circumstances some modification of the Part 1 provisions are required, which are set out in Part 1 of Schedule 1 to the Act.
