Eric Eoin Marques argued against extradition over child pornography charges in the Court of Appeal, reported on 21 June 2016.

His lawyers challenged the US sentencing system and argued that surrender could expose him to an unfair trial. The Attorney General’s lawyers said those concerns were speculative and did not establish a real risk of a flagrant denial of justice.

The hearing was due to resume before three judges.
