A UK fugitive who has been living in Cape Town since fleeing the UK in 2000 on Thursday lost his extradition appeal but was granted an opportunity to submit evidence about alleged discrimination which a magistrate did not want to receive.
Sher dismissed the appeal and the review on Thursday morning. He also confirmed the extradition order by the magistrate's court. "On top of this, there is no doubt that the appellant was badly treated both by the prosecutor, as well as by the magistrate, who was driven by impatience and intemperate haste, to conclude the proceedings as quickly as possible without having due regard for the appellant's procedural rights.
The magistrate would consider these submissions and then submit the evidence, record of proceedings, and High Court judgment to the justice minister for his decision in terms of the Extradition Act.
