Jasinavicius v Ministry of Justice, Republic of Lithuania [2015] EWHC 2417 (Admin), [2015] All ER (D) 301 (Jun)

The appellant appealed against orders for his extradition to Lithuania to serve a sentence of one year and six months’ imprisonment for stealing a car. The Administrative Court, in dismissing the appeal, held that the judge had been entitled to conclude that no unfairness would be caused to the appellant by refusing an adjournment and the judge had not given insufficient weight to an important matter or attached undue significance to a less important matter in the absence of qualified representation of the appellant.
