The Corporate Counsel and Unilateral Conduct/Reviewable Matters Committees of the Canadian Bar Association will be co-hosting the following upcoming teleconference on December 13th: Advising Amongst Uncertainty: Abuse of Dominance in Canada and the New Guidelines:
“Globally, enforcement of unilateral conduct laws has led to some of the most high profile matters in antitrust history, including Microsoft and Google in the US and EU. By comparison, unilateral conduct has seen much less enforcement in Canada in the last decade, which has arguably impacted the amount of attention it receives by businesses and their legal advisers. However, the Competition Bureau’s approach to enforcement appears to have changed since 2009 and has produced recent high profile cases including the Canadian Real Estate Association and Toronto Real Estate Board abuse of dominance cases. With the new Abuse of Dominance Guidelines released on September 20, 2012, both in-house counsel and private practitioners are revisiting this area with interest. But how helpful are the shortened Guidelines in providing meaningful guidance, and where else can counsel turn for information? Join us for lively discussion on the state of Abuse of Dominance in Canada, including hypothetical fact scenarios and practical insights on advising in this complex and evolving area.”
