What is the standard of disclosure required at an extradition hearing?
British Columbia, Canada
The following excerpt is from USA v. Mendoza, 2015 BCSC 1841 (CanLII):
This is an application for further disclosure in an extradition hearing. As set out in United States of America v. Dynar, 1997 CanLII 359 (SCC), [1997] 2 S.C.R. 462, at the committal hearing a person sought for extradition is not automatically entitled to the high level of disclosure that is required in domestic criminal trials. However, the person sought is entitled to know the case against him. This requires that the person sought be entitled to disclosure of the materials on which the requesting state is relying to establish its prima facie case (at paras. 128-130, 134).
