Section 194: Special extradition arrangements
553.This section provides for special extradition arrangements to be made with a country which is not an extradition partner with the United Kingdom. Where the Secretary of State believes that such arrangements have been made and that the country is neither a category 1 nor a category 2 territory, he may issue a certificate to that effect, in relation to the extradition of a person (subsections (1) and (2)).
554.Subsection (3) provides that, in this situation, Part 2 procedures would apply in respect of a request made by the relevant country. Subsection (4) provides that the following provisions of Part 2 do not apply in respect of such a request:
sections 71(4), 73(5), 84(7) and 86(7) – possibility of being designated with the effect of providing "information" in place of "evidence";
section 74(11)(b) – possibility of the 45-day period, within which a full extradition request is required following arrest under a provisional warrant, being extended.
555.In addition, any further modifications may be specified in the certificate issued by the Secretary of State. Such a certificate is to be treated as conclusive evidence of the fact that the appropriate conditions, set out in subsection (1), are met.
