But a distinction must be drawn between the instruction ...(indistinct) that happened and whether the belief was reasonable.  And there's, with submission, no evidence to suggest that Verster's belief that he had authority, was unreasonable.  If for instance this was something that was clearly outside the ambit of what the CCB was doing, then one could say he didn't have authority and you could not have believed, you could not have been bona fide.  The test for bona fide is a different test from whether he had authority.  And there's nothing to suggest that his belief could not have been bona fide.  He believes he had the authority, but let's assume he's wrong, let's assume for the moment that he's wrong on that.  What is there to suggest that his belief is not genuine?
