[2012] UKSC 22

The Supreme Court held, by a majority, that the term "judicial authority" in the Extradition Act 2003 s.2(2) was to be accorded the same meaning as it had in Decision 2002/584 art.6, and that a European arrest warrant issued by a public prosecutor was therefore a valid Part 1 warrant issued by a judicial authority within the meaning of s.2(2).
