A “no-deal Brexit” does not amount to a “point of law of exceptional public importance” that would require determination by the superior courts in extradition cases, a High Court judge has said.
Duffy , with a last address at Hannover Street West in Dublin, had been serving a term of life imprisonment for the murder of British army sergeant Michael Newman in Derby City in 1992 when he was released on licence by a Northern Irish parole board in March 2013. Ms Justice Donnelly made her decision to extradite Duffy on the grounds that there was “not a shred of evidence” to back up arguments made by Duffy’s defence team regarding Brexit and the Good Friday agreement.
Mr Hanrahan also told the court that Duffy’s case is one of “public interest” as there are “many different aspects of the Good Friday agreement and if some of them were taken away post-Brexit, this case would be very important.”
