Extradition Bill

Overview

Views are sought on the draft Extradition Bill ('the Bill'). The Bill is available to view or download from the 'Related' section at the bottom of this page and should be considered alongside the Explanatory notes for the Bill, which is also available in the 'Related' section below. A document comparing the provisions of the Bill with extradition legislation in Jersey, Guernsey and the United Kingdom can also be downloaded from the 'Related' section.

The Bill is intended to ensure that the Isle of Man has a modern legal framework for any extradition cases that may arise so that the Island can comply fully with international obligations and standards in this area. The Bill would replace old extradition legislation of the UK Parliament that still applies to the Island.

Although the Extradition Bill is in the Government’s legislative programme as a Department of Home Affairs (DHA) Bill, extradition is obviously international in nature and External Relations has been closely involved with the Attorney General’s Chambers in preparing a consultation draft of the Bill. As part of cross-Government working External Relations has agreed to run the public consultation on behalf of DHA.
