EXTRADITION (COMMONWEALTH COUNTRIES) REGULATIONS (AMENDMENT)
These Regulations are being made pursuant to section 37 of the Extradition (Commonwealth Countries) Act 1966.
These Regulations which amend the Extradition (Commonwealth Countries) Regulations are necessitated by amendments to the Extradition (Commonwealth Countries) Act 1966 which came into force on 16 October 1985.
Most of the amendments are as a result of the transfer of forms from the Act to the Regulations. Powers vested in the Attorney-General and Magistrates pursuant to the Act are exercized in accordance with these forms. The forms themselves have been substantially revised.
