What to do with it
As published

35 Extradition where no appeal

(1) This section applies if the appropriate judge orders a person’s extradition to a category 1 territory under this Part and either— (a) no notice of application for leave to appeal under section 26 is given before the end of the period permitted under that section, or (b) notice is given during that period but the High Court refuses leave to appeal to it. (2) But this section does not apply if the order is made under section 46 or 48. (3) The person must be extradited to the category 1 territory before the end of the required period. (4) The required period is— (a) 10 days starting with— (i) the first day after the period permitted under section 26 for giving notice of application for leave to appeal against the judge’s order (where subsection (1)(a) applies), or (ii) the day on which the decision of the High Court refusing leave to appeal to it becomes final (where subsection (1)(b) applies), or (b) if the judge and the authority which issued the Part 1 warrant agree a later date, 10 days starting with the later date. (4ZA) The decision of the High Court refusing leave to appeal to it becomes final when, in accordance with rules of court, there is no further step that can be taken in relation to the application for leave to appeal. (4A) If the day referred to in subsection (4)(a)(i) or (ii) is earlier than the earliest day on which, by reason of an order under section 36B or 36C, the extradition order may be carried out (“the postponed date”), subsection (4)(a) has effect as if it referred to the period of 10 days starting with the postponed date. (5) If subsection (3) is not complied with and the person applies to the appropriate judge to be discharged the judge must order his discharge, unless reasonable cause is shown for the delay. (6) These must be ignored for the purposes of subsections (1) to (4A)— (a) any power of a court to extend the period permitted for giving notice of application for leave to appeal; (b) any power of a court to grant leave to take a step out of time. (7) If leave to appeal to the High Court is granted on an application notice of which was given after the end of the period permitted under section 26, this section ceases to apply (but section 36 applies instead).

Who it helps, what it costs, what it fixes. It is what persuades people to support it.

A proposal here is not law. Support on Solon is evidence that people want the change; the official route says what it takes to make it law.
