  "text": "(This note is not part of the Order)\nThis Order extends provisions of the Extradition Act 2003, with modifications, to all British overseas territories except Gibraltar (which has its own extradition legislation). For the purposes of this Order, all territories that are specified as category 1 territories and category 2 territories under the 2003 Act are designated as “extradition territories”, together with the United Kingdom, the Channel Islands and the Isle of Man, and all British overseas territories. The Order therefore makes provision for extradition between all these territories and the British overseas territories to which the Order extends. It also enables the list of “extradition territories” for the purposes of the Order to be varied in the future. The Order also makes provision for police powers in the context of extradition, and for further modifications to the 2003 Act as extended in cases where an extradition request involves more than one offence.",
