===Extradition===
The [[Extradition Act 2003]] tasks the CPS with representing foreign states in [[extradition]] proceedings, heard at [[Westminster Magistrates' Court]]. While it acts on the foreign prosecutor's instructions, the CPS retains discretion on how the case should be prosecuted.

The Extradition Unit at CPS Headquarters deals with all cases in which the extradition of a person within England and Wales is sought by another state and all cases in which the CPS is seeking the extradition of an individual outside the European Union. The CPS Areas prepare and manage their own extradition requests under the [[European Arrest Warrant]] framework.
