The Case

Where the appellant had been sentenced to an aggregate sentence following a conviction for three offences where two were extraditable offences and one was not, the district judge had been wrong not to discharge the appellant. There was no way in which the court could determine the extent of which the aggregated sentence reflected the sentence which the court of the requesting state thought appropriate for the non-extraditable offence and therefore s2(6)(e) and 65(3) of the could not be satisfied.
