Trade Review'Whilst there is no shortage of practitioner texts detailing the complex workings of extradition, this is the first practical guide that aims to get the novice advocate up and running so that he or she is able to competently identify the issues that can (and more often than not do) arise during extradition proceedings ... The beauty of this book though is not just in its clear and accurate analysis of the law, but for its practical emphasis ... It is now very difficult to envisage why any competent advocate would go to Westminster Magistrates' Court without having installed this relatively compact (and ridiculously cheap) book on their phone or other electronic device of choice. The authors have done an absolutely splendid job - well done! ' Andrew Keogh, Crimeline
