Norris (Appellant) v Government of United States of America and another (Respondents)
Location: Case TypesExtradition    
Posted by: Stephen Moore 04/03/2010 17:01
The United States Government is seeking the extradition of the appellant, Mr Norris, so he may be tried on an indictment charging him with obstruction of justice. He had originally faced a further charge of price fixing. The House of Lords ruled in 2008 ([2008] UKHL 16) that the conduct alleged in relation to the price fixing charge was not capable of amounting to an extradition offence as it was not a crime under English law when it was committed. His case was then sent back to the district judge to decide whether he should be extradited on the remaining charges in the indictment.
