A district judge's reference to the "balance of probabilities" when determining that a Latvian national, subject to three European arrest warrants, would not face inhuman or degrading treatment if extradited to Latvia did not constitute a misdirection. Ultimately, the judge applied his mind to the correct test, namely; whether there were substantial grounds for believing that there was a real risk of such mistreatment.
