civil liberties groups have called on the government to effect the forum clause into uk law in relation to the extradition request for richard o'dwyer, amid concerns over whether the u.s. courts are the appropriate legal forum. according to liberty, "enacting the forum amendment would have been quite simple. it's not that we're arguing that in every case where activity has taken place here we shouldn't allow people to be extradited. but we should at least be leaving our judges some discretion to look at the circumstances." according to liberty, the forum clause would allow uk courts to "bar extradition in the interests of justice where conduct leading to an alleged offence has quite clearly taken place on british soil."
