The case is still in the pre-trial stage and there have been a host of various procedural fights already brewing between Norman's legal team, which is headed by defence lawyer Marie Henein, and the federal government. The SNC-Lavalin case, which centred on accusations of attempted political interference in the Quebec construction giant's criminal trial for fraud and corruption, appeared to give Norman's legal team new avenues for examination as they continue to fight for access to secret government documents. At the time of publication, CTV News has not received comment from Norman's legal team.
