This legal document, dated December 17, 2020, and authored by David Perry QC, analyzes the legal framework for extradition from the United Kingdom to the United States, specifically concerning Ms Maxwell. It argues that none of the statutory bars to extradition apply to her case and highlights the rarity of the Secretary of State's power to refuse extradition, citing the past case of Gary McKinnon as an example that is no longer applicable. The document notes that the purpose of the Extradition Act 2003 is to streamline and facilitate extradition, with most cases concluding within two years.
