Sean D. Yates
Published : Oct. 22, 2021
Abstract
Defence applications to adduce evidence in Meng Wanzhou’s extradition case. Bases of Court decisions to allow or deny evidence. Different standards required for Requesting State and Person Sought. Extradition proceedings constituting a trial of the Record of Case, not of the Person Sought. Unfairness flowing from the new Extradition Act due to relaxation of evidence standards required in the Record of Case. Whether Extradition Act achieved its aim to prevent Canada being a haven for criminals, or if it has become one of the easiest places from which to extradite, creating concerns about wrongful extradition and denial of Charter Rights.
