Is a certified Record of the Case admissible in an extradition hearing?
Ontario, Canada
The following excerpt is from United States of America v. Su Go, 2008 CanLII 48124 (ON SC):
Counsel for the Attorney General submitted that the Extradition Act, supra, states in s. 32(1)(a) that information contained within a certified Record of the Case is admissible. He also referred to Canada v. Schmidt, supra, at para 51 to support his position regarding the admissibility of evidence in extradition hearings. I accept this submission and consider the similar fact evidence part of the totality of evidence.
