Melloni v Ministerio Fiscal – WLR Daily

Posted February 28th, 2013 in EC law, human rights, law reports, warrants by sally

Melloni v Ministerio Fiscal (Case C-399/11); [2013] WLR (D) 83

“Article 4a(1) of Council Framework Decision 2002/584/JHA of 13 June 2002 on the European arrest warrant and the surrender procedures between member states (as amended by Council Framework Decision 2009/299/JHA of 26 February 2009) precluded the executing judicial authorities, in the circumstances specified in that provision, from making the execution of a European arrest warrant, issued for the purposes of executing a sentence, conditional upon the conviction rendered in absentia being open to review in the issuing member state. Article 4a(1) of Framework Decision 2002/584 was compatible with the requirements under articles 47 and 48(2) of the Charter of Fundamental Rights of the European Union. Article 53 of the Charter did not allow a member state to make the surrender of a person convicted in absentia conditional upon the conviction being open to review in the issuing member state, in order to avoid an adverse effect on the right to a fair trial and the rights of the defence guaranteed by its constitution.”

Regina v Asmelash [2013] EWCA Crim 157; [2013] WLR (D) 79

“There was nothing in the new statutory provisions relating to the partial defence to murder of loss of self control to suggest that Parliament intended that the normal rules which applied to voluntary intoxication should not apply. That did not mean that a defendant who had been drinking was deprived of the loss of control defence, it just meant that the defence had to be approached without reference to the defendant’s voluntary intoxication.”
