The High Court has ordered the surrender of an individual to Northern Ireland to face prosecution for causing grievous bodily harm with intent and two counts of assault. The court rejected the respondent's objections to surrender, which included claims of potential breaches of fundamental rights and disproportionate interference with family rights. The court found no real risk of rights violations if the individual were detained in Northern Ireland and determined that the objections regarding future license conditions and lack of clarity in the warrant were without merit.
