McKinnon v Government of the United States of America [2008] UKHL 59; [2008] WLR (D) 266

A foreign prosecuting authority’s plea bargain offer to an accused person whose extradition was sought, did not constitute an abuse of process unless the predicted consequences of refusing the offer were so extreme as to amount to a threat of unlawful action which imperilled the integrity of the extradition process.”
