Details of the work

In 2021, our legal team was retained by Green Harvest Inc., an agricultural exporter based in Canada, seeking legal support in a dispute with the Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) regarding the application of customs privileges. The case involved a highly technical legal issue and required our team to develop compelling legal arguments to establish a judicial precedent that would confirm the legality of our client's application.

The dispute arose when CBSA challenged Green Harvest Inc.'s application for customs privileges, alleging that it did not comply with the relevant regulations. Our team of experienced attorneys worked closely with the client to develop a thorough understanding of the case, including the applicable regulations, the client's business practices, and the legal precedents that would support our position. We submitted detailed legal briefs and argued persuasively in court, ultimately prevailing in the case and forming a precedent that confirmed the legality of our client's application for customs privileges.

Results

This case was a significant victory for both Green Harvest Inc. and the legal industry as a whole. With over 50 pages of legal briefs and detailed arguments, we successfully established a judicial precedent that will guide future cases involving customs privileges. Our team's expertise, dedication, and attention to detail were critical to securing this outcome for our client. We remain committed to providing top-notch legal support to agricultural exporters like Green Harvest Inc. and helping our clients achieve their legal goals.
