YOUR TELNO 1089: LORRAIN OSMAN
1.
Home Office Legal Advisers have commented that the Attorney General's draft accurately records the sequence of events.
He might add that the delay in Osman's extradition was created by Osman himself, in the way in which he lost no opportunity to use the remedies available to him under the Fugitive Offenders Act 1967 and under the Extradition Act 1989 which replaced it. The suggestion that the delay in Osman's extradition was due to dilitoriness on the part of the UK and Hong Kong authorities enabling him to mount successive appeals is therefore nonsensical.
