European Arrest Warrants, Extraditions and EU-UK Trade and Cooperation Agreement
Kiely McCarthy Solicitors LLP provides high quality representation to those in European Arrest Warrant and Extradition Proceedings.
A European Arrest Warrant (‘EAW’) is a cross-border judicial surrender procedure for the purpose of prosecution or execution a custodial sentence or detention order. This is often a surprising occurrence for the defendants and their families owing to the minimal notice given. Where a person consents to his or her surrender, a final decision on the execution of the EAW must occur within 10 days. If consent is not given, the execution of the EAW must occur within 60 days.
​
Extradition between Ireland and England is now dealt with under the EU-UK Trade and Cooperation Agreement which works under a very similar structure.
​
Given both the severity and immediacy of these cases, seeking our legal advice at the earliest possible juncture is imperative.
