Key legal question
Whether the request for a public oral hearing had to be granted in this extradition appeal
Extracted holding
No public oral hearing was required; the court found no statutory obligation and no need for further evidentiary proceedings.
Extracted reasoning
Extradition proceedings are treated as administrative, not criminal, matters under Art. 6(1) ECHR; neither the OG nor the IRSG mandates a public hearing, and the court saw no factual need for one.
