DOWD v SPAIN sub nom DOWD v COURT OF INSTRUCTION NUMBER TWO IN TORREVIEJA, ALICANTE, SPAIN (2013)

A European arrest warrant, which was ambiguous as to whether it related to one or two offences, was valid for the purposes of extradition where further information from the requesting authorities had led a district judge to conclude that the warrant related to one offence only. The warrant was not an abuse of process because the information it contained would not have had an effect on the proper operation of the statutory scheme that would have led to unfairness.
