Asylum

A parallel issue to extradition. In the United Kingdom, where an order for extradition is made, and the person has made an asylum claim (before or after the issue of a Part 1 extradition), extradition cannot take place until a final determination of that claim is made: sections 39 and 121 EA 2003 as amended by section 162(1)(b) of the Anti-social Behaviour, Crime and Policing Act 2014 (ACBP 2014). For extradition to a category 1 territory, extradition must be made to a safe country: section 40 EA 2003.
