High Court orders the surrender of three individuals sought by the UK for alleged fraudulent activities in their roles as directors of a roofing company, rejecting the argument that their surrender would breach the rule of speciality, as the sentences for civil contempt they face in the UK do not fall within the ambit of criminal conduct under Irish law, the court finding no unfairness or breach of fundamental rights in the imposition of the sentences by the UK court.
