When considering the impact of the European Convention on Human Rights art.8 on an extradition order, the possibility of prosecution in the requested state would very rarely be a decisive factor. It was also unlikely that the court would allow itself to be drawn into a close analysis of the most convenient forum when considering whether a requested person should be extradited, since there were likely to be issues which it would be difficult for the requested state to address.
