Extradition proceedings were not in a special category which would justify a departure from the principle of open justice.’

‘Once a district judge’s decision to order a person’s extradition had been successfully appealed under Part 1 of the Extradition Act 2003, the High Court enjoyed a supervisory jurisdiction to quash or vary any costs order made against the appellant, since the basis on which the costs order had been made no longer existed. However, the High Court did not have jurisdiction to determine an appeal from a costs order made by a district judge who had ordered extradition, in circumstances where the costs order was challenged as a part of unsuccessfully pursuing an appeal against the extradition order.’
