This Legal Update discusses a decision by the Federal Court to dismiss a motion for certification of a class action in relation to sections 45 and 46 of the Competition Act, R.S.C. 1985, c. C-34. The Court dismissed the motion by holding that the plaintiffs failed to sufficiently prove the existence of an express or tacit conspiracy agreement between the defendants and, therefore, failed to disclose a reasonable cause of action or raise a common question of law or fact, which are essential to certify a class action under Rule 334.16(1) of the Federal Courts Rules, SOR/98-106.
