[2025] EWHC 1956 (Admin)

In conclusion, I do not accept that the Judge was wrong in her decision as matters stood before her. I conclude with no hesitation that in Celinski terms, the Judge did not make the wrong decision. She was correct to make the extradition order on the material before her. She should not have reached a different decision.

Testing that conclusion using the Belbin rubric, I conclude that the Judge did not misapply well-established principles; did not make unreasonable material findings of fact; and reached a conclusion that was rational. Indeed, I judge that on the material at the extradition hearing, she was right. There remains the question of the incorrect categorisation of the 4B offence. Nevertheless, as I have explained in detail, once the offence is categorised correctly as a 5B offence, the conclusion remains the same. This is the prime test: whether the decision overall was correct. It was.
