    SHERIFFDOM OF LOTHIAN AND BORDERS AT EDINBURGH [2017] SC EDIN 77 B692/17 JUDGMENT OF SHERIFF T WELSH QC under the Extradition Act 2003 In the cause THE LORD ADVOCATE (FOR THE GOVERNMENT OF THE UNITED ARAB EMIRATES), CROWN OFFICE, EDINBURGH, EH7 4AU Applicant Against GARNET DOUGLAS BLACK Respondent Applicant: Crosbie T; Crown Office, Edinburgh Respondent: McCluskey; Ludgate Dunn, Solicitors, Edinburgh The Issue [1] This case is about the rule of law and access to justice. The applicant seeks the extradition of the respondent to the United Arab Emirates (UAE) to serve a sentence of 12 months imprisonment imposed following his conviction, in Dubai, for certain crimes of dishonesty. The respondent resists the extradition request on the basis of an alleged flaw in the preliminary extradition procedure. Separately, he argues that extradition is barred by reason of extraneous considerations, such as these are defined by s 81 of the Extradition Act 2003 (the Act). He also challenges extradition because he says he will be denied certain procedural rights, which Parliament has guaranteed by writing them into the Act, including a right to legal aid if re-tried, should he be extradited to the UAE. Finally, he asserts that, if granted, extradition will be incompatible with his human rights. The human rights in 2 question are those set out in article 3, article 5 and article 6 of the European Convention on Human Rights, as incorporated into United Kingdom domestic legislation by the Human Rights Act 1998. The Applicant [2] The applicant is the Lord Advocate, acting on behalf of the UAE.
