What is the scope and scope of an extradition hearing?
Ontario, Canada
The following excerpt is from Germany (Federal Republic) v. Schreiber, 2001 CanLII 28400 (ON SC):
Extradition proceedings are intended to be expeditious procedures to determine whether a trial should be held in the state that seeks a person’s return. The hearing is to be expedited, designed to keep expenses to a minimum and ensure prompt compliance with Canada’s international obligations. It is not, and must not become the equivalent or near equivalent of the domestic trial of a criminal case. See Re McVey; McVey v. United States of America, 1992 CanLII 48 (SCC), [1992] 3 S.C.R. 475, 77 C.C.C. (3d) 1 at 55, 97 D.L.R. (4th) 193, per La Forest J.; and United States of America v. Dynar, 1997 CanLII 359 (SCC), [1997] 2 S.C.R. 462, 115 C.C.C. (3d) 481 at 522, 147 D.L.R. (4th) 399, per Cory and Iacobucci JJ.
