The attorney for Tony Vincent Ashman is expected this afternoon to file an application in the Supreme Court challenging his client’s extradition.
James is also challenging Ashman’s re-arrest.
Resident Magistrate Georgiana Fraser ordered Ashman extradited at a hearing in the Corporate Area Resident Magistrate’s Court yesterday.
The British Government wants Ashman to stand trial in the UK for murder.
However, his lawyer is contending that his client’s arrest is an abuse of the process of the court.
Ashman was re-arrested more than a week ago, five months after the Supreme Court ordered his immediate release from police custody.
The order was made because Ashman had been in custody for more than the 60 days allowed by the law after waiving his right to an extradition hearing.
