This document is an email chain from December 2020 discussing extradition law, specifically concerning the enforceability of a defendant's consent to extradition from the UK to the US. The emails involve individuals from the US Department of Justice and the Crown Prosecution Service, clarifying that consent given in the US would not be binding in the UK and that a UK judge must independently verify extradition compliance with UK law. The discussion centers on a UK citizen, detained in the US, attempting to use prophylactic consent to extradition as proof of not being a flight risk for bail purposes.
