Jane v Prosecutor General's Office, Lithuania [2018] EWHC 2691 (Admin) (16 October 2018)

The assurance dated 7 August 2018 from Lithuania is sufficiently specific and reliable to dispel any real risk of impermissible treatment contrary to Article 3 ECHR if Mr Jane is extradited, particularly as he is likely to be held in a renovated part of Lukiskes prison, and there is no evidence that renovated cells present a real risk of impermissible treatment.
