EXTRADITION (FOREIGN STATES) REGULATIONS (AMENDMENT)
These Regulations are being made pursuant to section 31 of the Extradition (Foreign States) Act 1966.
These Regulations which amend the Extradition (Foreign States) Regulations are necessitated by amendments to the Extradition (Foreign States) Act 1966 which have been proclaimed to come into force on 1 July 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.
