Crown about to resume arguments at #MengWanzhou extradition proceedings ... here is a recap of yesterday's events: cbc.ca/news/canada/br…
Crown lawyer Diba Majzub begins by telling judge that CBSA acted reasonably in deciding to examine #MengWanzhou before the RCMP arrested her ...
Majzub says the Crown's argument "in a nutshell" is that there wasn't a "battle for immediacy" between RCMP and CBSA on #MengWanzhou arrival - but that RCMP acted reasonably in letting CBSA go first - not to carry out a covert plot for which there is no evidence
Majzub says "It wasn’t the FBI talking to the CBSA. It was the CBSA that made that decision (to intercept and examine #MengWanzhou before RCMP could arrest her on provisional warrant)"
Majzub says "context matters" - and that the "Immediacy provision was not a command to ignore reason" in terms of arresting #MengWanzhou ...
Majzub says “The CBSA was always going to conduct an examination (of #MengWanzhou) - even before the RCMP arrived” .. because she was the subject of a "lookout" that automatically would have triggered a secondary examination
