Final arguments in the extradition case for Huawei executive Meng Wanzhou will take place early next year.

The BC Supreme Court approved a schedule proposed by the Crown and Meng's defence team.

In a letter to Associate Chief Justice Heather Holmes, Crown lawyer John Gibb-Carsley says the schedule aims to resolve all necessary evidentiary issues through the summer and early fall.

Hearings are to resume on August 17th, when the court will meet for five days to hear arguments over privilege claims in the case.
