What’s expected to be the last round of arguments in B-C Supreme Court by lawyers for Huawei executive Meng Wanzhou got underway this morning with her legal team alleging the United States has “misused” the extradition process.
Meng’s lawyers say the U-S has been selective in what it disclosed to Canada in order to secure Meng’s extradition and the “egregious” and “troublesome” actions have left Canada at the “mercy” of the U-S.
Meng is wanted on allegations that she misled H-S-B-C about Huawei’s relationship with another company, putting the bank at risk of violating American sanctions against Iran _ charges that both Meng and Huawei deny.
B-C Supreme Court Associate Chief Justice Heather Holmes will hear this set of arguments and is then expected to rule on Meng’s extradition — but appeals are likely if the decision goes against Meng.
