Dec 10 (Reuters) - Lawyers for Huawei's chief financial
officer won a court battle when a judge asked Canada's attorney
general to hand over more evidence and documents relating to the
arrest of Meng Wanzhou.
However, the Supreme Court of British Columbia cautioned
that the ruling released on Tuesday is limited and does not
address the merit of Huawei's allegations that Canadian
authorities improperly handled identifying information about
Meng's electronic devices.
But Associate Chief Justice Heather Holmes agreed with
Huawei Technologies Co Ltd's legal team that there is
an "air of reality" to their assertion.
Meng, 47, was arrested at the Vancouver International
Airport on Dec. 1, 2018, at the request of the United States,
where she is charged with bank fraud and accused of misleading
the bank HSBC about Huawei Technologies' business in
Iran. She has said she is innocent and is fighting extradition.
She was questioned by immigration authorities prior to her
arrest, and her lawyers have asked the government to hand over
more documents about her arrest.
Meng's legal team has contested her extradition in the
Canadian courts on the grounds that the United States is using
her extradition for economic and political gain, and that she
was unlawfully detained, searched and interrogated by Canadian
authorities acting on behalf of the U.S. Federal Bureau of
Investigation (FBI).
