    Uploaded by

    1) The Supreme Court held that the constitutional provision on bail can be applied to extradition proceedings, overturning its previous ruling that bail was not applicable to extradition. 2) Both extradition and deportation are administrative proceedings, but extradition involves deprivation of liberty and uses the mechanisms of criminal law. 3) While no law provides for bail in extradition cases, nothing prohibits the extraditee from asserting their constitutional right to post bail. 4) However, the standard of proof is higher for bail in extradition - the extraditee must present "clear and convincing evidence" that they are not a flight risk, unlike the presumption of innocence in criminal cases. 5)
