Having reviewed the District Judge’s Judgment, Mrs Justice Eady’s refusal, and the Applicant’s grounds for renewal, I find no basis on which it could be concluded that the District Judge misapplied well-established legal principles, made an unreasonable finding of fact, failed to consider a relevant factor, or reached a conclusion that was irrational or perverse (see Belbin v Regional Court of Lille, France [2015] EWHC 149 (Admin) at [66]). The Judge diligently weighed the various factors, acknowledging the Applicant’s private life in the UK whilst concurrently giving due regard to the strong public interest in extradition.

I conclude that the overall evaluation made by the District Judge was not arguably wrong, and there is no reasonably arguable ground for appeal. The Applicant’s arguments amount to an attempt to have this Court re-evaluate the weight given to various factors, rather than demonstrating a legal error or an irrational conclusion, which is not the function of an appellate review in these circumstances, (see Celinski v Poland [2015] EWHC 1274 (Admin)).

For these reasons, I am satisfied that permission to appeal must be refused.
