What does Extradition mean? Extradition is the cross‑border process by which a person in one state is arrested and surrendered to another state to be prosecuted or to serve a sentence for conduct within the requesting state’s jurisdiction. In practice it is governed by statute and international agreements: in the UK, principally the Extradition Act 2003 (including arrangements now operating with EU member states under the UK–EU Trade and Cooperation Agreement), and in Ireland the Extradition Act 1965 and, for intra‑EU cases, the European Arrest Warrant Act 2003.

This Practice Note This Practice Note reviews mechanisms used in settling litigation. A Tomlin order consists of a consent order paired with a schedule. It operates to stay proceedings on terms that have been agreed. The provisions contained in the schedule may remain confidential. This Practice Note describes the scope of confidentiality attaching to the schedule and sets out how it differs from a standard consent order. Sample wording for a Tomlin order is included, alongside links to precedents, as well as guidance on court approval.
