This section establishes that the only appropriate court or tribunal for hearing human rights claims arising out of the extradition process will be the appropriate judge dealing with the extradition proceedings under Parts 1 or 2 of this Act (subsection (1)). For a case under Part 1 of the Act the appropriate judge is as defined in section 67 and, for Part 2, is as defined in section 139 (subsections (2) and (3)).
