34.  I have had the opportunity of reading in draft the opinion of my noble and learned friend Lord Hope of Craighead. For the reasons he gives, I too would allow this appeal and affirm the decision of the Senior District Judge to order the respondent’s extradition to Spain on the grounds set out at the end of Lord Hope’s opinion. I would also like to associate myself with the comments in the “Postscript” to that opinion.
