Ziolkowski v Circuit Court of Torun, Poland [2012] EWHC 2813 (Admin)
[1]MR JUSTICE BEAN: I am not prepared to vary conditions of bail. Two experienced District Judges have set conditions not only of surrender of passport and identity card, but also of a surety or security of originally £500, varied to £400.[2]The extradition hearing in the Magistrates' Court is due in only a fortnight. The appellant prays in aid his paternal feelings for his three children, but it is apparent both from the statement of Mr Jacobs and from what I have been told by Mr Harbinson for the requesting state that the applicant is accused of some form of domestic violence and is prohibited from seeing his children, except by arrangement, pending a possible criminal trial.[3]In those circumstances, despite the condition of surrender of passport and identity card, I consider that the flight risk is quite considerable and the conditions set by the District Judges are unimpeachable. The appellant must therefore remain in custody until the substantive hearing at the Magistrates' Court.
