CLass notes

The Crown claims the elements of fraud — as laid out in Canadian law — include Meng
allegedly lying to deceive HSBC and the bank, risking liability under U.S.
sanctions law as a result.

"As the CFO of Huawei and the daughter of its founder, her representations
regarding Huawei's business activities undoubtedly carried considerable weight,"
the Crown's submission reads.

"Ms. Meng's deceitful representations to HSBC about Huawei and Skycom thwarted
HSBC's efforts to eliminate its risk exposure, putting HSBC's economic interests at
risk."

In addition to arguments on the extradition request, Meng's lawyers will also try
to have the case tossed because of alleged abuse of process when the proceedings
recommence.

Meng Wanzhou claims delay in extradition case needed to review documents that could
turn case 'on its head'
Crown accuses Meng Wanzhou's lawyers of denying facts in bid to toss extradition
The defence team will argue that the United States misled Canada about the strength
of its case and omitted key facts from the record.

They have previously argued that Meng's rights were violated at the time of her
arrest, that she's being used as a political pawn and that the entire prosecution
is in violation of international law.

Her next court appearance is scheduled for May 7, at which point lawyers are
expected to discuss the management of the case in the months ahead.

Meng has denied the allegations against her.
