Relevant offences.
3.- (1) For the purposes of this Act an offence of which a person is accused or has been convicted in the United Kingdom or a designated
Commonwealth country or the Republic of Ireland or a United Kingdom dependency is a relevant offence if-
(a) in the case of an offence against the law of a designated Commonwealth country or the Republic of Ireland, it is an offence which, however described in that law, falls within any of the descriptions set out in Schedule 1 to this Act, and is punishable under that law with imprisonment for a term of twelve months or any greater punishment;

circumstances of aggravation which may be necessary to constitute that offence under the law shall be disregarded.
(3) The descriptions set out in Schedule 1 to this Act include in each case offences of attempting or conspiring to commit, of assisting,
counselling or procuring the commission of or being accessory before or after the fact to the offences therein described, and of
impeding the apprehension or prosecution of persons guilty of those offences.

General restrictions on return.
4.-(1) A person shall not be returned under this Act to a designated Commonwealth country or the Republic of Ireland, or committed
to or kept in custody for the purposes of such return, if it appears to the High Commissioner, to the court of committal or to the
High Court on an application for habeas corpus:-
(a) that the offence of which the person is accused or was convicted is an offence of a political character;
(b) that the request for his return (though purporting to be made on account of a relevant offence) is in fact made for the purpose of prosecuting or punishing him on account of his race, religion, nationality or political opinions; or
(c) that he might, if returned, be prejudiced at his trial or punished, detained or restricted in his personal liberty by reason of his race, religion, nationality or political opinions.
(2) A person accused of an offence shall not be returned under this Act to any country, or committed to or kept in custody for the
purposes of such return, if it appears as aforesaid that if charged with that offence in the Protectorate he would be entitled to
be discharged under any rule of law relating to previous acquittal or conviction.
(3) A person shall not be returned under this Act to any country, or committed to or kept in custody for the purposes of such return,
unless provision is made by the law of that country, or by an arrangement made with that country, for securing that he will not,
unless he has first been restored or had an opportunity of returning to the Protectorate, be dealt with in that country for or in
respect of any offence committed before his return under this Act other than-
(a) the offence in respect of which his return under this Act is requested;
(b) any lesser offence proved by the facts proved before the court of committal; or
(c) any other offence being a relevant offence in respect of which the High Commissioner may consent to his being so dealt with.

arrangement of a more general nature; and for the purposes of that subsection a certificate issued by or under the authority of the
Prime Minister confirming the existence of an arrangement with any country and stating its terms shall be conclusive evidence of
the matters contained in the certificate.

the Head of the Commonwealth or any related offence described in section 3(3) of this Act.
Proceedings for return
Authority to proceed.
Am. by S.I. 1968/1375
5.- (1) Subject to the provisions of this Act relating to provisional warrants, a person shall not be dealt with thereunder except in
pursuance of an order of the High Commissioner (in this Act referred to as an authority to proceed), issued in pursuance of a request
made to the High Commissioner by or on behalf of the Government, in the case of the United Kingdom, the Republic Ireland or a designated
Commonwealth country, or the Governor in the case of a United Kingdom dependency, of the country in which the person to be returned
is accused or was convicted.
(2) There shall be furnished with any request made for the purposes of this section on behalf of any country -
(a) in the case of a person accused of an offence, a warrant for his arrest issued in that country;
(b) in the case of a person unlawfully at large after conviction of an offence, a certificate of the conviction and sentence in that country, and a statement of the amount if any of that sentence which has been served,
together (in each case) with particulars of the person whose return is requested and of the facts upon which and the law under which
he is accused or was convicted, and evidence sufficient to justify the issue of a warrant for his arrest under section 6 of this
Act.
(3) On receipt of such a request the High Commissioner may issue an authority to proceed unless it appears to him that an order for
the return of the person concerned could not lawfully be made, or would not in fact be made, in accordance with the provisions of
this Act.
Arrest for purposes of committal.
6. -(1) A warrant for the arrest of a person accused of a relevant offence, or alleged to be unlawfully at large after conviction of
such an offence, may be issued -
(a) on the receipt of an authority to proceed, by a magistrate in any part of the Protectorate;
(b) without such an authority, by a magistrate in any part of the Protectorate, upon information that the said person is or is believed to be in or on his way to the Protectorate;
and any warrant issued by virtue of paragraph (b) above is in this Act referred to as a provisional warrant.
(2) A warrant of arrest under this section may be issued upon such evidence as would, in the opinion of the magistrate, authorise
the issue of a warrant for the arrest of a person accused of committing a corresponding offence or, as the case may be, of a person
alleged to be unlawfully at large after conviction of an offence, within the jurisdiction of the magistrate.
(3) Where a provisional warrant is issued under this section, the authority by whom it is issued shall forthwith give notice to the
High Commissioner, and transmit to him the information and evidence, or certified copies of the information and evidence, upon which
it was issued; and the High Commissioner may in any case, and shall if he decides not to issue an authority to proceed in respect
of the person to whom the warrant relates, by order cancel the warrant and, if that person has been arrested thereunder, discharge
him from custody.
(4) A warrant of arrest issued under this section may be executed in part of the Protectorate and may be executed by any person to
whom it is directed or by any police officer.
(5) Where a warrant is issued under this section for the arrest of a person accused of an offence of stealing or receiving stolen
property or any other offence in respect of property, a magistrate or justice of the peace in any part of the Protectorate shall
have the like power to issue a warrant to search for the property as if the offence had been committed within the jurisdiction of
the magistrate or justice.
Proceedings for committal.
7.- (1) A person arrested in pursuance of a warrant under section 6 of this Act shall (unless previously discharged under subsection
(3) of that section) be brought as soon as practicable before a court (in this Act referred to as the court of committal) consisting
of a magistrate.
(2) For the purposes of proceedings under this section a court of committal consisting of a magistrate shall have the like jurisdiction
and powers, as nearly as may be, including power to remand in custody or on bail, as a magistrates' court holding a preliminary inquiry.
(3) Where the person arrested is in custody by virtue of a provisional warrant and no authority to proceed has been received in respect
of him, the court of committal may fix a reasonable period (of which the court shall give notice to the High Commissioner) after
which he will be discharged from custody unless such an authority has been received.
(4) Where an authority to proceed has been issued in respect of the person arrested and the court of committal is satisfied, after
hearing any evidence tendered in support of the request for the return of that person or on behalf of that person, that the offence
to which the authority relates is a relevant offence and is further satisfied-
(a) where that person is accused of the offence, that the evidence would be sufficient to warrant his trial for that offence if it had been committed within the jurisdiction of the court;
(b) where that person is alleged to be unlawfully at large after conviction of the offence, that he has been so convicted and appears to be so at large,
the court shall, unless his committal is prohibited by any other provision of this Act, commit him to custody to await his return
thereunder; but if the court is not so satisfied or if the committal of that person is so prohibited, the court shall discharge him
from custody.
Application for habeas corpus, etc.
8.- (1) Where a person is committed to custody under section 7 of this Act, the court shall inform him in ordinary language of his right
to make an application for habeas corpus, and shall forthwith give notice of the committal to the High Commissioner.
(2) A person committed to custody under the said section 7 shall not be returned under this Act-
(a) in any case, until the expiration of the period of fifteen days beginning with the day on which the order for his committal is made;
(b) if an application for habeas corpus is made in his case, so long as proceedings on that application are pending.
(3) On any such application the High Court may, without prejudice to any other jurisdiction of the court, order the person committed
to be discharged from custody if it appears to the court that-
(a) by reason of the trivial nature of the offence of which he is accused or was convicted; or
(b) by reason of the passage of time since he is alleged to have committed it or to have become unlawfully at large, as the case may be; or
(c) because the accusation against him is not made in good faith in the interests of justice,
it would, having regard to all the circumstances, be unjust or oppressive to return to him.
(4) On any such application the High Court may receive additional evidence relevant to the exercise of their jurisdiction under section
4 of this Act or under subsection (3) of this section.
(5) For the purposes of this section proceedings on an application for habeas corpus shall be treated as pending until any appeal
in those proceedings to the Fiji Court of Appeal is disposed of; and an appeal shall be treated as disposed of at the expiration
of the time within which the appeal may be brought or, where leave to appeal is required, within which the application for leave
may be made, if the appeal is not brought or the application made within that time.
Order for his return to requesting country.
9.-(1) Where a person is committed to await his return and is not discharged by order of the High Court, the High Commissioner may
by warrant order him to be returned to the country by which the request for his return was made unless the return of that person
is prohibited, or prohibited for the time being, by section 4 of this Act or this section, or the High Commissioner decides under
this section to make no such order in his case.
(2) An order shall not be made under this section in the case of a person who is serving a sentence of imprisonment or detention,
or is charged with an offence, in the Protectorate-
(a) in the case of a person serving such a sentence, until the sentence has been served;
(b) in the case of a person charged with an offence, until the charge is disposed of or withdrawn and, if it results in a sentence of imprisonment (not being a suspended sentence), until the sentence has been served.
(3) The High Commissioner shall not make an order under this section in the case of any person if it appears to the High Commissioner,
on the grounds mentioned in section 8(3) of this Act, that it would be unjust or oppressive to return that person, and may decide
to make no order under this section in the case of a person accused or convicted of an offence in the United Kingdom or a United
Kingdom dependency if he considers, on any such grounds as are mentioned in paragraphs (a) to (c) of section 4(1) of this Act, that the order ought not to be made.
(4) The High Commissioner may decide to make no order under this section in the case of a person accused or convicted of a relevant
offence not punishable with death in the Protectorate if that person could be or has been sentenced to death for that offence in
the country by which the request for his return is made.
(5) The High Commissioner may decide to make no order under this section for the return of a person committed in consequence of a
request made on behalf of any country if another request for his return under this Act, or a requisition for his surrender under
the Extradition Act 1870(a[6]), has been made on behalf of another country and it appears to the High Commissioner having regard to all the circumstances of the
case and in particular-
(a) the relative seriousness of the offences in question;
(b) the date on which each such request or requisition was made; and
(c) the nationality or citizenship of the person concerned and his ordinary residence,
that preference should be given to the other request or requisition.
(6) Notice of the issue of a warrant under this section shall forthwith be given to the person to be returned thereunder.
Discharge in case of delay in returning.
10.-(1) If any person committed to await his return is in custody in the Protectorate under this Act after the expiration of the following
period, that is to say-
(a) in any case, the period of two months beginning with the first day on which, having regard to section 8(2) of this Act, he could have been returned;
(b) where a warrant for his return has been issued under section 9 of this Act, the period of one month beginning with the day on which that warrant was issued,
he may apply to the High Court for his discharge.
(2) If upon any such application the court is satisfied that reasonable notice of the proposed application has been given to the High
Commissioner, the court may, unless sufficient cause is shown to the contrary, by order direct the applicant to be discharged from
custody and, if a warrant for his return has been issued under the said section 9, quash that warrant.
Evidence.
11.-(1) In any proceedings under this Act, including proceedings on an application for habeas corpus in respect of a person in custody
