High Court grants an order to surrender the respondent to the United Kingdom on foot of a Trade and Co-Operation Agreement warrant, for sentencing following her in absentia conviction on multiple counts of converting criminal property and attempting to convert stolen property. The court found that the respondent knowingly waived her right to be present at her trial, despite the absence of direct evidence to this effect, by inferring from the totality of circumstances and the respondent's conduct that she was aware of the legal proceedings against her and the possibility that the trial might proceed in her absence.
