The applicant, sought for extradition to Romania for a manslaughter conviction arising from a fatal motor vehicle accident, applied under s. 32(1)(c) of the Extradition Act to adduce expert accident reconstruction evidence.
The applicant sought to challenge the reliability of the requesting state's expert report regarding his speed at the time of the collision.
The Superior Court of Justice dismissed the application, finding that the proposed evidence did not establish that the requesting state's evidence was manifestly unreliable, as the applicant's expert lacked access to the complete evidentiary record.
The court further held there was sufficient evidence of dangerous driving and manslaughter to justify committal, and ordered the applicant committed into custody to await surrender.
