- High Court
Application for judicial review granted and Minister directed to reconsider the surrender decision because the Minister did not adequately and explicitly address whether the diplomatic assurances were sufficiently reliable and enforceable to protect the applicant from torture and unfair trial—in particular limitations on disclosure to third parties, absence of an express right to counsel during all pre-trial interrogations, and unclear practical arrangements for proactive monitoring—such that reconsideration was necessary.
