A Canada Border Services Agency official testifying as part of Huawei executive Meng Wanzhou's extradition case broke a court rule that asked her not to speak with anyone about the case while under cross-examination.
A Crown lawyer told the BC Supreme Court that after testifying yesterday, Chief Nicole Goodman contacted a government lawyer with no connection to the case to ask a question about part of her evidence that might touch on an issue of privileged information.
The judge hearing the case instructed Goodman to speak with a neutral lawyer appointed by the court.
The court heard that the lawyer would advise Goodman that whether an issue is privileged is for the Crown to worry about, not her.
