On-the-run conwoman may go to Supreme Court in bid to halt extradition
Stage: Appeal
Finding: Convicted
Outcome: Convicted; The High Court today ruled that Farah Damji, who is wanted in the UK after she fled a trial, is not entitled to an appeal against an order that she be extradited to serve out the remainder of her sentence. On January 31 of this year, Mr Justice Paul Burns ordered that Damji (55) be surrendered to UK authorities to serve the remaining 40 days of a nine-month sentence imposed upon her in her absence.
