Section 47 Persons extradited to the United Kingdom.I1C1
England and Wales
A short-term or long-term prisoner is an extradited prisoner for the purposes of this section if—
he was tried for the offence in respect of which his sentence was imposed—
after having been extradited to the United Kingdom; and
without having first been restored or had an opportunity of leaving the United Kingdom; and
he was for any period kept in custody while awaiting his extradition to the United Kingdom as mentioned in paragraph (a) above.
If, in the case of an extradited prisoner, the court by which he was sentenced so ordered, section 67 of the 1967 Act (computation of sentences of imprisonment) shall have effect in relation to him as if a period specified in the order were a relevant period for the purposes of that section.
The period that may be so specified is such period as in the opinion of the court is just in all the circumstances and does not exceed the period of custody mentioned in subsection (1)(b) above.
