Extradition - London (Bar)
What the Team is Known For
5 St Andrew's Hill has a significant reputation for handling extradition cases with "a number of very experienced extradition barristers who are able to bring that expertise to bear." Individuals at the set regularly write and lecture on the topic and are called upon by the national press for their views. They both prosecute and defend cases in concert with teams of UK and foreign extradition lawyers, and are experts in both the European Arrest Warrant regime and cases outside Europe. They have particular expertise in the removal of Interpol Red Notices and a long track record of running human rights arguments relating to prison conditions and political corruption. Recently, members have appeared on appeal in Balahan v Sweden, a case before the European Court of Human Rights concerning Article 3 rights.
Gary Norton and Dean Cook are the senior clerks for extradition.
