As the German Constitutional Court has ruled that the EU arrest warrant is not compatible with German law. It is thought that the Government will attempt to introduce a specific German law to allow a substantive hearing for suspects before they are deported thus effectively undoing a key feature of the arrest warrant.
It is not clear how this will work, but the German ruling may leave the EU arrest warrant open to legal challenge in other countries.
