It's not entirely unreasonable for the judge to dismiss closing arguments: this is an administrative hearing, not a criminal case. There may well be sound case management reasons for doing so.
Mr Assange can appeal to the High Court if the judgement goes against him, and then further to the Supreme Court, and potentially the European Court of Human Rights. Any of those courts can block his extradition.
- jlokier 6y agoThe UK government has said it is hoping to undo the Human Rights Act. It seems too many people dislike the idea of human rights now, especially rights for "criminals". So I wouldn't be surprised if the ECHR has no standing in the UK by the time Mr Assange could do with its services.
