royal court
(Samedi Division)
3rd November 2010
|
Before : |
Sir Richard Tucker, Commissioner, and Jurats Le Cornu and Fisher. |
|
Between |
Philip Eric De Figuerido |
Appellant |
|
And |
Commonwealth of Australia |
Respondent |
Advocate M. St. J. O'Connell for the Appellant.
Advocate C. M. M. Yates for the Respondent.
judgment
the commissioner:
1. The Court has taken some time to consider the question of whether the appellant should be allowed to remain on bail, following the dismissal of his appeal against the Attorney General's Order that he should be extradited to Australia. We have given anxious consideration to the matter. We have borne in mind the submissions made by Crown Advocate Yates on the one hand and the submissions made by Advocate O'Connell for the appellant on the other.
2. The decision of the Jurats coincides with my own view that in all the circumstances there are substantial grounds for believing that if allowed bail the appellant would fail to surrender to custody. Following the dismissal of his appeal, the risks of the appellant absconding are too great to allow him to remain on bail.
3. Accordingly we order that the appellant be remanded in custody.
