This legal document, dated December 17, 2020, analyzes the extradition case of Ms. Maxwell from the United Kingdom to the United States. It argues that legal bars to extradition are unlikely to apply to her case, highlighting that the UK Secretary of State's power to refuse extradition is exceptionally rare and that the 2003 Extradition Act is designed to facilitate, not hinder, such proceedings.
