AP. The case of accused computer hacker. October 10, 2009. "The High Court decision denies McKinnon the possibility of taking his case to the country's new Supreme Court — the latest in a series of blows to his campaign to remain in Britain.
Lord Justice Stanley Burnton said that extradition was "a lawful and proportionate response" to McKinnon's alleged crimes and that the legal issues raised by the case were not important enough to be considered by the nation's highest court. McKinnon's attorney, Karen Todner, said she was not giving up. "The legal team are now considering our position and we will exhaust every avenue to prevent Gary's extradition," she said after the ruling. She added that lawyers were considering taking the case back to the European Court of Human Rights, which has previously refused to stop his extradition."
