Przybyszewski v Circuit Court Plock, Poland

[2014] EWHC 3692 (Admin)

Summary

An extradition appeal which is withdrawn may be dismissed by the court. The dismissal fixes the relevant date for determining the time allowed for execution of the warrant.

Factual background

The appellant appealed against a decision of the District Judge concerning an extradition warrant. It was recognised that there were no grounds to challenge the District Judge’s decision. The appeal was therefore withdrawn, leaving the court to determine the appropriate order and the relevant date for calculating the execution period.

Held

  1. The court recorded that there were no grounds to challenge the District Judge’s decision.
  2. The appeal was withdrawn. Mr Justice Blake accordingly dismissed the appeal.
  3. The date of the dismissal was the relevant date for determining the time for execution of the warrant.
  4. The court noted that discussions might result in withdrawal of the warrant and directed that this should be communicated promptly if it occurred.
