Led by James Hines QC, Stefan Hyman represented the CPS in a recent Administrative Court case which considered whether the High Court or an extradition ticketed judge at Westminster Magistrates’ Court can review the taking of consent when it is alleged that incorrect or insufficient legal advice was given. The case analysed jurisdiction and the contours of consent in European arrest warrant legislation/the Trade and Cooperation Agreement 2020. This is both in terms of what it means and what is required at first instance.
Judgement here.
