On 17 November, the Privy Council dismissed an appeal brought by Jack Warner, the former Vice President of FIFA, whose extradition from Trinidad & Tobago is sought by the US Government on corruption and other charges spanning three decades. The appeal arose out of a judicial review challenge to the vires of certain decisions of Attorney General of Trinidad & Tobago which underpinned the commencement of the extradition proceedings and led to Mr Warner’s arrest, at the request of the US Department of Justice, in 2015. The appeal had wide-ranging implications for the validity of the extradition arrangements between Trinidad & Tobago and the United States.
James Lewis KC and Rachel Scott appeared for the Attorney General of Trinidad & Tobago. The hearing is available to watch here and the judgment can be found here.
