James Anthony Oliver Albert Corry was ordered surrendered by the High Court on 14 November 2016 over an alleged attempted murder offence. The case concerned an alleged 1996 mortar attack on a British Army barracks in Osnabruck, Germany.

Ms Justice Aileen Donnelly found that the European Arrest Warrant met the statutory requirements and that surrender was not prohibited by the relevant provisions of the European Arrest Warrant Act 2003. The judgment said the alleged offence carried a possible life sentence and that the public interest in addressing an attack of such gravity outweighed the delay in seeking surrender.
