They also extend the appeal deadline in Slovakia-related extradition cases from 45 to 60 days.

That single textual change extends the specific time period in the Act for matters covered by paragraph 17(2)(a) when the Act is applied to Slovakia; no other procedural authorities, cost‑allocation, or decision‑making powers are specified in the Regulations."},"complexity_factors":["Direct cross-references to the Extradition Act (paras 11(1)(b) and 17(2)(a)) — understanding practical effect requires consulting that Act.","Textual amendment is narrow (numeric substitution 45→60 days) but time-dependent, so impact depends on the substantive context of the referenced provision.","Country‑specific application (Slovakia only) means interpretation rests on interaction between these Regulations and the general Act rather than stand‑alone rules.","Regulation is brief and mechanically simple, with low administrative detail and limited new procedural content.","Made by Governor‑General on Executive Council advice (preamble) — formal executive instrument rather than primary legislation."],"plain_english_summary":"These Regulations declare the Slovak Republic to be an extradition country under the Extradition Act 1988 and, for Slovakia only, replace the text ‘45 days’ with ‘60 days’ in paragraph 17(2)(a) as applied under paragraph 11(1)(b) of the Act. The instrument was made by the Governor‑General on advice of the Federal Executive Council (preamble). It does not itself set costs or procedural detail; it changes a deadline in the Act that will govern certain extradition-related steps between Australia and Slovakia (regs 4–5)."}},"importantCases":[],"_links":{"self":"/api/acts/extradition-slovakia-regulations-2007","history":"/api/acts/extradition-slovakia-regulations-2007/history","analysis":"/api/acts/extradition-slovakia-regulations-2007/analysis","conflicts":"/api/acts/extradition-slovakia-regulations-2007/conflicts","importantCases":"/api/acts/extradition-slovakia-regulations-2007/important-cases","documents":"/api/acts/extradition-slovakia-regulations-2007/documents"}}
