Law (general)

Given that all EU countries had ratified the ECHR, the UK Government stated that Arts 5 and 6 should in any case be respected throughout the EU and that, "it is not the intention that, as a matter of routine, the Bow Street District Judge should look at the motivation behind the request or the nature of the trial on return".
In this case 'always'?
In this case 'always'?

This phrase, \"a matter of routine,\" means something that is in the regular procedure and thus done automatically. For example, it is a matter of routine that one empties his or her pockets of all metal before going through a metal detector.
