AC-2023-LON-001921 - [2025] EWHC 1416 (Admin)

The Respondent requested two things. First, that I should defer handing down the original judgment to permit representations on process and substance in light of the judgment of the Supreme Court in Andrysiewicz [2025] UKSC 23 (“SC”). As I said in Part 1 (§1 above), I agreed to that request. Second, that I should revisit the analysis in the original judgment (Part 2) and reverse the outcome of the case. That means the Appellant would be extradited after all, so that the French authorities could make their decision on whether his 5-hour EMC is or is not EMHA under the Code. Whether to accede to that request, and what the consequence is, are the subject of the remaining paragraphs below. I have decided not to change my decision.
