Defence urges judge not be a 'rubber stamp' in Meng Wanzhou extradition case
Supreme Court judge considering a U.S. request to render the Huawei executive to New York to face fraud charges shouldn't act as a "rubber stamp" for extradition. In a 2006 decision, McLachlin wrote that an extradition "judge must act as a judge, not a rubber stamp" when considering the facts and law in cases like Meng's. "Otherwise the extradition risks becoming the rubber stamp the chief justice warned us about and it would undermine the basic demands of justice."
