Steve Szentesi and Tom Hakemi will be teaching sections of Canadian Competition Law at the University of British Columbia Faculty of Law, beginning in January, 2011.

This will be a survey course reviewing the key areas of competition law in Canada including criminal conspiracies (cartels), merger control, abuse of dominance (monopolies), misleading advertising and deceptive marketing.  Also covered will be key economic concepts important to determining whether and to what extent the federal Competition Act may apply to a range of business activities.

The recent sweeping amendments to Canada’s competition law will also be summarized, with reference to key international jurisprudence and recent developments to assist with the interpretation of Canada’s new competition law rules.

For more information about UBC courses see: Registration, Course Timetable and Exam Schedule Information.
