The High Court has ordered the surrender of an individual to Northern Ireland for prosecution on three counts of murder dating back to 1982, pursuant to a Trade and Co-Operation Agreement warrant (TCAW) and dismissing objections related to potential breaches of fundamental rights. The court found no substantial grounds to believe that the individual would face an unfair trial or that surrender would result in a disproportionate interference with family life. The decision to prosecute predated statutory limitations, and the possibility of bail in Northern Ireland was deemed reasonable.
