Therefore, I reject the appellant’s fugitivity argument. The appellant was and remains a fugitive in respect of the relevant legal process (or processes). There is a mass of evidence on which the respondent has proved it.

I briefly return to the fact that the Judge accepted the appellant’s argument at para 93. To my mind, this was generous to the appellant. Nevertheless, on appeal I am concerned primarily with whether the Judge’s ultimate conclusion that section 14 provides no bar to extradition is wrong. To this I turn.
