The British Columbia Supreme Court on Wednesday granted Huawei executive Meng Wanzhou s request to delay the final part of her extradition hearing.
Associate Chief Justice Heather Holmes did not explain her decision on the application from Meng s defense team. She would provide them in writing later in the next week and a new resume date will be determined later.
The hearings were scheduled to begin on April 26. Meng s lawyers asked Holmes on Monday to adjourn proceedings until Aug 3.
A lawyer for Huawei's chief financial officer argued Monday that there's no proof that HSBC sustained an increased risk of financial loss as a result of Chief Financial Officer Meng Wanzhou's alleged actions.

Lawyers for Huawei executive Meng Wanzhou will argue that she was subjected to an abuse of process, and that former US president Donald Trump poisoned extradition proceedings against her.
Meng, the chief financial officer of Huawei Technologies Co Ltd, and her defense team returned to British Columbia Supreme Court on Monday to fight her extradition to the United States.
Soon after Meng s arrest, Trump made a statement to a Reuters reporter that he reserved the right to weigh in on the case if it would help the US secure a trade deal with China or serve other American national security interests.
