Crown Prosecution Service v Patel [2010] EWHC 1221 (Admin) (13 May 2010)

Given the defendant's long, open residence in the UK, lack of concealment, strong community ties, and the unexplained delay by the Indian Government in seeking extradition, it would be disproportionate to require continued detention; bail should continue under existing conditions.
