VANCOUVER—A lawyer for Canada’s attorney general is asking a B.C. Supreme Court judge to “step out of the weeds” and focus on a legal test for assessing whether Huawei executive Meng Wanzhou was subjected to an abuse of process during her arrest.

Robert Frater says the judge has been presented with two “vastly different narratives” about how Meng’s arrest unfolded and must consider whether to believe the exciting one or the ordinary version.
