What evidence is admissible under the Extradition Act?
British Columbia, Canada
The following excerpt is from United States of America v. Martin, 2014 BCSC 1112 (CanLII):
In applying the test set out in s. 29, I must consider what evidence is admissible under the Extradition Act and whether that evidence is sufficient to justify committal. This involves a limited weighing of the admissible evidence to determine whether it discloses a case on which a reasonable and properly instructed jury could convict the person sought of the equivalent Canadian offence set out in the authority to proceed, if the conduct described had occurred in Canada: United States of America v. Ferras, 2006 SCC 33.
