For­mer FI­FA vice-pres­i­dent and ex-gov­ern­ment min­is­ter Jack Warn­er has won a de­ci­sive le­gal vic­to­ry af­ter the High Court per­ma­nent­ly stayed the ex­tra­di­tion pro­ceed­ings brought against him by the Unit­ed States, bring­ing to an end a decade-long le­gal bat­tle that reached the Ju­di­cial Com­mit­tee of the Privy Coun­cil.

In a 71-page judg­ment de­liv­ered yes­ter­day, Jus­tice Karen Reid ruled that Warn­er’s con­sti­tu­tion­al rights had been breached through the con­duct of the Of­fice of the At­tor­ney Gen­er­al dur­ing the ex­tra­di­tion pro­ceed­ings and or­dered that the case be per­ma­nent­ly halt­ed.
