Extradition Act 2003

Section 205: Written statements and admissions

583.This section provides for amendments to provisions of the Criminal Justice Act 1967 and the Criminal Justice (Miscellaneous Provisions) Act (Northern Ireland) 1968, concerning the use of written statements and formal admissions. The effect is that the relevant provisions apply in relation to extradition proceedings under this Act in the same way that they apply in criminal proceedings (subsections (1) and (2)). This allows for written statements to be adduced where there is no objection, and for formal admissions to be made.

584.Subsection (3) provides the appropriate modifications concerning the terminology used in criminal proceedings, so that the provisions are taken to make the appropriate references in extradition proceedings.
