(3)     Where it is a condition of bail that a surety is provided, it is also a condition of bail that if the surety believes at any time that the person whose extradition is requested is unlikely to surrender to the custody of a court at the time and place appointed for the person to do so –

5        Extraneous considerations

A person’s re-extradition to a designated territory is barred by reason of extraneous considerations if (but only if) it appears –
