Where the person claimed has declared to the Public Prosecutor that he does not consent to his extradition, the proceedings shall be referred to the Investigating Chamber without delay. The person claimed shall appear before it within ten working days from the date of his presentation to the Attorney General.
The provisions of the second, third and fourth paragraphs of Article 696-13 shall apply.
If, at the time of his or her appearance, the person claimed declares that he or she does not consent to being extradited, the Investigating Chamber shall give its reasoned opinion on the extradition request. It shall give its opinion, unless further information has been ordered, within one month of the appearance before it of the person claimed.
This opinion is unfavourable if the court considers that the legal conditions have not been met or that there is an obvious error.
An appeal against an opinion of the Investigating Chamber may only be based on formal defects of such a nature as to deprive that opinion of the essential conditions of its legal existence.
