[2012] EWHC 1787 (Admin)

The court considered issues relating to the delays in the provision of legal funding in European arrest warrant cases under the Extradition Act 2003 Pt 1. It indicated that there was a systemic failing in the structure of the present system for means testing which produced unacceptable delays that were contrary to the time limits set out in the Act and the Framework Decision and inconsistent with overarching principles of fairness and justice in timely decision-making in extradition cases, and invited the Ministry of Justice to undertake an urgent revision of that system to eliminate delays.
