s 13Conduct of proceedings

(1)

During the extradition proceedings, the magistrate shall hear the case in the same manner and have the same jurisdiction and powers, as near as may be, as if the person was accused of an offence committed within his jurisdiction.

(2)

During the proceedings, a person is not entitled to adduce evidence, and the magistrate is not entitled to receive evidence, to contradict an allegation that he has engaged in conduct that constitutes the offence for which extradition is sought.
