Key legal question
Whether the appeal against the interlocutory MLAT decision was admissible because of immediate and irreparable harm
Extracted holding
The appeal was admissible only insofar as the appellants invoked a direct, immediate and irreparable prejudice arising from foreign attendance at the hearing.
Extracted reasoning
Interlocutory MLAT decisions are appealable only for issues causing such prejudice; broader objections must be reserved for the final closing decision.
