If I am granted bail during extradition proceedings, what conditions should I expect?

Bail conditions in extradition cases are typically more restrictive than in domestic criminal matters due to the inherent flight risk. Courts commonly impose surrender of passports, substantial financial sureties (often £50,000 or more in serious cases), electronic monitoring tags, residence requirements, and regular reporting to police stations. In UK proceedings, courts apply a rebuttable presumption against bail in certain cases. Breaching bail conditions results in immediate remand and severely damages credibility in subsequent proceedings. The strength of community ties, previous compliance history, and the nature of the alleged offence heavily influence bail outcomes.
