Additional Brexit case referred to European Court of Justice

local summary3 public source leads5 related reports

A High Court judge has referred an extradition case to the Court of Justice of the European Union to determine how Brexit will affect the transfer of suspects to the United Kingdom. The man, arrested in Dublin over two years ago, faces charges of murder and rape in Northern Ireland. Ms Justice Aileen Donnelly granted the referral request made by counsel for the Minister for Justice, finding the matter bound up with issues of mutual trust between jurisdictions. Eight additional cases involving men sought by UK authorities were considered at the same hearing. In February, the Supreme Court had similarly referred another extradition matter to the CJEU, concerning a Roscommon man wanted in connection with a substantial tax fraud allegation in the UK.
