>>68428509>which courtWhat do you even mean? A canadian citizen isn't subject to japanese court jurisdiction while living in Canada, but in order to operate in Canada and employ canadian residents, Anycolour has to willingly subject itself to Federal and provincial regulatory jurisdiction. They can be audited for their finances here. They can be sued here.
There's no 'competition' between different legal systems--that would be insane. This is far from the first time there have been transnational legal issues like this. It's easy for Japan to employee Canadian citizens and vice versa because both countries agree to binding treaties that mediate these relationships and employee right enforcement.
The cut and dry truth is that if Selen has a case she can pursue it, and such a case would be pursued behind closed doors in order to protect the privacy of those involved. If Anycolour is subject to legal action, their recourse would be to defend their innocence or settle out of court, but they may still be subject to punitive charges for violating the binding regulations they agreed to when they decided to do business in Canada.
Where the truth lies and whether Selen has a case or not is not something we can possibly know. But even just reading the publicly available information on the BC gov website about employee rights and employer responsibilities makes it clear that Anycolour has been accused of something quite serious.
