This Act is no different from any other legislation in that, if someone commits an offence, it is open to the authorities to seek their extradition, if that is what is required. I do not see the distinction between this Bill and any other. If people break the law they are subject to the relevant penalties, irrespective of the nature of the applicable legislation.

Section 94 refers to the fact that the agency has to be satisfied with the proposed transferee in that the applicant for the licence must be regarded as a fit and proper person to be granted it. It imposes limitations on what the transferee can be and what he or she can do under the Act. If he or she breaks the law, it is up to the State to decide whether or not to extradite him or her under criminal law.
