[2010] EWHC 1048 (Admin)

An argument that a European arrest warrant had failed to satisfy the Extradition Act 2003 s.2(3) by referring to pre-trial investigation rather than prosecution reflected a parochial approach to criminal procedure. Although pre-trial investigation was distinct from criminal proceedings under English procedure, that could not be assumed in a civil law system.
