Abstract
This article discusses legal pluralism and how conflicts are managed when multiple systems operate on given events. It sheds light on the case of Meng Wanzhou, Huawei's CFO, in Vancouver, Canada, who is currently facing extradition proceedings to the United States. The case sheds light on issues that can arise where legal systems overlap, in this case, those of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) and the Canadian Border Services Agency (CBSA), which have distinct mandates and operate under a separate legislative authority. It tackles how they are jointly involved in Ms Meng's detention, interrogation and ultimate arrest and the need for an independent oversight of the CBSA which remains the only policing service within Canada that does not have some form of independent oversight body.
