Today's Highlighted Video Story: On 11 December 2015, His Honour Judge Devlin made an order for the
extradition of Mr O’Connor to Greece in accordance with a European
Arrest Warrant. Pursuant to section 26(4) of the Extradition Act 2003,
Mr O’Connor then had seven days in which to give notice of any
application for leave to appeal against this order. Mr O’Connor’s
solicitor lodged this application on 16 December 2015 but failed to
serve notice of the application on the Appellant until 4 January 2016
owing to an oversight. The question was whether Mr O’Connor’s appeal
could nevertheless be entertained on the basis that he had done
everything reasonably possibly to give notice of the appeal pursuant to
section 26(5) of the Extradition Act 2003. The Divisional Court in
Northern Ireland allowed the appeal to proceed, drawing a distinction
between the actions of Mr O’Connor and the actions of his solicitor. The
Appellant seeks to appeal against this order.
