Explanatory Note
(This note is not part of the Order)
This Order amends the Extradition Act 2003 (Commencement and Savings) Order 2003 by replacing article 5 of that Order. Under article 5, as substituted, the Extradition Act 1989 continues to have effect in the Crown dependencies and British overseas territories (with the exception of Gibraltar) until the coming into force of provisions which replace that Act in the dependency or territory in question. The provision might be passed by the legislature of the dependency or territory or be included in an Order in Council under sections 177 and 178 of the Extradition Act 2003 in the case of a territory or an Order in Council under section 222 of that Act in the case of a dependency.
