The maximum penalty the Parliament can impose on a person for, for example, a failure to comply with an order to appear, is only 6 months' prison. It might also be characterised as a 'political' offence for extradition purposes. So Mr Joyce (AC) would have to be charged with some other offence with a penalty of at least 12 months' imprisonment, in order to be prone to extradition.
