Very well, then consider what a proper way of proceeding might be?
Imagine that a bunch of UK citizens make, say, a trip to New Zealand.
Some incident happens involving some locals - the UKians initially do
not see a huge problem, apologize, exchange names and addresses and
get on their plane as scheduled.
After the plane has departed, in a few hours, days or weeks, it turns
out that there ARE problems. Valuables are lost, or someone becomes
dead, crippled or pregnant.
Where, in which court, should the accusations be proceeded with?
Can an UKian be extradited to New Zealand if the said UKian is not
accused of anything at all, but a witness to something happening? And
who will pay for the tickets plus the time spent in the other end of
the world giving evidence? |
