I used a file for similar prob I had on my cab.

I'd definitely use a file.
If you try to square-off a laminate corner with a saw there is a very good chance of cracking/chipping;
I say this from experience. They sell laminate files everywhere (and they do work) but a normal fine file will also do.
Practice on a spare piece of laminate and then go slow - I'd even suggest some painter's tape on the surrounding
laminate in case os slips.

This is where a little research would have dug up this problem in advance. Hint: Look at CNC machines and the tricks to get around this issue.
I'm assuming that your planned CP is the wing-style that overhangs the side of the cab? If so, then plan B is simple. Well... easier said than done I suppose depending on your design. Use the CP to hide any defects from your attempt at "squaring off" that corner or adding divots positioned to be hidden. Read the article link above on "Laser vs. Rotary Cutters – The Inside Corner Problem" to see what I mean.
Just a suggestion, take it or leave it. :dunno
Unstupid:
You can fie it, or sand it or chisel it square...
Or you can hit the control panel with a 1/8" fillet bit.... ;)
