Canada's director of public prosecutions is firing a new volley at SNC-Lavalin that could hobble the company's ongoing legal fight for a special settlement agreement over alleged corruption in Libya.
The prosecutor wants the Federal Court of Appeal to strike out a key element of the construction and engineering firm's challenge of a ruling that went against the company.
Montreal-based SNC-Lavalin faces corruption and fraud charges related to business deals in Libya from 2001 to 2011. The company unsuccessfully pressed the director of prosecutions to negotiate a "remediation agreement," a legal means of holding an organization to account for wrongdoing without a formal finding of guilt.SNC-Lavalin is appealing the judge's ruling, pointing to recent revelations from parliamentary committee testimony to bolster its arguments.
