In an announcement yesterday, Paul Crampton, formerly a partner in the competition and antitrust law group at Oslers in Toronto, has been appointed to the Federal Court of Canada. The Financial Post stated:
“… Mr. Crampton has counselled clients on a range of trade issues, including international mergers and the impact of the Investment Canada Act on deals. The author of legal text Mergers and the Competition Act, Mr. Crampton joins the Federal Court, which hears competition and trade cases, at a time when Canada has revamped its competition laws and many speculate there will be an increase in litigation. As well, the Investment Canada Act has come under fire over some recent mergers, including the divestment of Nortel’s assets to foreign players and the legislation is at the centre of a dispute between the federal government and U.S. Steel over the closing of much of its Ontario operations earlier this year.”
Having worked with Paul in Toronto, we congratulate him on his new appointment and wish him all the success in his new role.
