dc.concourt.synopsis Goldstone J, for a unanimous Court, held that the President's consent to trigger extradition proceedings is not a trial, nor an administrative decision but rather, a policy decision. It is thus not a prerequisite that the nationality of the person sought for extradition be considered. A provision in the Extradition Act which provides that the Magistrate holding an extradition enquiry must accept a certificate from the appropriate authorities in the foreign state as conclusive proof that they have sufficient evidence to warrant the proposed prosecution does not violate the person's rights to a fair trial, to freedom and security of the person, or to a fair hearing. The provision also does not interfere with the independence of the judiciary or violate the separation of powers doctrine.
