REASONS FOR JUDGMENT
1 In this matter I am satisfied on reading the evidence and considering the documents which have been filed before me, particularly the evidence of Mr Gregory Walsh in the affidavit of 9 November 1999, that this is a clear case for the Court to grant bail to the applicant pursuant to the provisions of s 21(6)(f)(iv) of the Extradition Act 1988 (Cth). In my view, there are extreme and special circumstances which justify adopting such a course and I note that the application is not opposed by the first respondent, and there is no other indication of any objection to the application.
2 Accordingly, I make orders in accordance with the short minutes of orders which have been handed up to me with the addition of the additional cl 1(f), and I also make an order that the hearing be expedited and that leave be granted to the parties to approach the Registrar for a date for hearing. Liberty to apply on two days' notice in relation to the working out of any of the orders is reserved.
3 I will sign those orders and appropriate arrangements can then be made with the Registry for the taking out of the formal orders.

I certify that the preceding three (3) numbered paragraphs are a true copy of the Reasons for Judgment herein of the Honourable Justice Tamberlin. |
