Raven The Belfast Recorder’s Court will only rule on whether or not the defendant can be extradited on the charges. But those non-jury trials are still available here.

Folks, I am not old enough to have been fully cogniscent of the role of Diplock Courts.

From my scant knowledge – would a preferred option not be to retain diplock, (yes I can see **some** merits), but bring in an international judge? Someone from beyond the British/Irish arena?

Grateful to anyone for some non-partisan explanation. Cheers.

Well a link to that “detailed blog” would be nice.

But you seem to be somewhat confused about what the Belfast Recorder’s Court will actually be ruling on.
