Jones and Doobay on Extradition and Mutual Assistance (Publisher Sweet & Maxwell)
Anand Doobay is the co-author of the new edition of this leading textbook on extradition and mutual assistance. Michael O'Kane contributed to the sections on mutual assistance. Both areas of law are very topical in light of more cross-border criminal investigations and closer international co-operation.
The book deals in detail with the new statutory provisions for both areas of law considering the Extradition Act 2003 and the Crime (International Co-operation) Act 2003. There are significant reforms brought about by this new legislation and the book comments on these in the context of EU developments which have contributed to the changes.
