A.G. v. Borek [2003] IEHC 118 (11 December 2003)

The technical flaw in the marking of the warrants is inconsequential and does not prejudice the respondent; the offences charged in the UK correspond to offences under Irish law, satisfying the requirements for extradition under section 47 of the Extradition Act 1965.
