The Court held that 'copies' in Article 13 and the Extradition Act includes faithful transcriptions and non-photocopy reproductions; the documentation submitted (including transcriptions and translations) was sufficiently authenticated by embassy, sworn translators and prosecutors and the phrasing 'reliable and conforming with the original document' met the treaty's 'true copy' requirement in context; broad hearsay objections were rejected as beyond the case stated remit and the materials were admissible for extradition purposes, so the judicial review failed and was dismissed.
