State will not appeal decision to refuse Bailey extradition
Summary
The State has decided not to appeal the High Court's refusal to extradite 60‑year‑old Ian Bailey to France over the 1996 death of Sophie Tuscan du Plantier. Bailey, who denies any role in the death, was previously sought by French authorities in 2010 and again last summer for alleged voluntary homicide. Mr Justice Tony Hunt dismissed the Minister for Justice's application as an abuse of process. During the hearing, solicitor Gareth Lynch informed the court of the State's decision, and Mr Justice Hunt granted Mr Bailey costs for the case.
