Former Head of Extradition at the Crown Prosecution Service, now partner at Peters & Peters Nick Vamos shares his views on Lauri Love’s successful appeal against extradition on health grounds. Nick states the significance of the judgment, “it is the first case in which the Forum Bar has been used successfully to resist extradition.” Nick goes on to explain that “this judgment will mean that US and UK prosecutors will need to be very careful in future about how they decide who should prosecute cases of concurrent jurisdiction.”
