Explanatory note

Article 2 of this Order amends the Extradition Act 2003 (Designation of Part 1 Territories) Order 2003 and the Extradition Act 2003 (Designation of Part 2 Territories) Order 2003 by omitting the territories listed in article 2(3) from the latter Order and adding them to the former Order. The effect of this is that the territories become category 1 territories for the purposes of the Extradition Act 2003 so that Part 1 of that Act applies to them.

Article 3 of this Order amends article 4(2) of the Extradition Act 2003 (Designation of Part 2 Territories) Order 2003 to replace the 90 day limit relating to Chile with a 95 day limit. This is the time limit within which relevant documents have to be received by the judge when a person is arrested under a provisional warrant.
