Explanatory note

Original text. Later amendments are not shown.

(This note is not part of the Regulations)

These Regulations commence the Extradition (Provisional Arrest) Act 2020 (c. 18) (“the Act”), other than section 2 which commenced upon Royal Assent. Regulation 2 brings section 1 of the Act and its Schedule (power of arrest for extradition purposes) into force on IP completion day, save for paragraph 4 of the Schedule which is brought into force (so far as it applies to Norway and Iceland only) immediately after IP completion day.

A full impact assessment has not been produced for this instrument as no, or no significant, impact on the private, voluntary or public sectors is foreseen.
