After a last minute flurry of inquiries and companies and individuals finalizing preparations to comply, Canada’s new federal anti-spam legislation will at long last (or as dreaded) come into force on July 1st. So, for companies and individuals that market electronically and haven’t prepared by Tuesday, it will be “pens down” so to speak or risk the rather draconian potential penalties under the new law.

With Canada’s new anti-spam law (CASL) coming into force right around the corner (next week on July 1st) Canadian and international businesses that market to Canadians are finalizing initial CASL compliance preparations (including a flurry of consent request e-mails – which will not be permitted to request consent post-July 1st, unless they fall within the scope of the transition provision of CASL – i.e., are sent to existing business or non-business contacts as defined).

Several days ago I posted several short notes discussing a few of the more interesting, frequent and important competition and advertising law questions I’ve received over the past few years (see: here and here). Today I thought I would write one more with a few more “real life” competition/advertising law FAQs – i.e., not hypotheticals worked up by a lawyer but questions I’ve received over the past few years.

Over the past several months we have begun to increasingly consider Canada’s new anti-spam legislation (CASL) and its potential application to social media in particular. In general, CASL will, once largely in force July 1st, create a mandatory advance express consent regime for commercial electronic messages (CEMs) sent to or from Canadian computer systems. The new law will, among other things, also require that certain “form” (i.e., identification), unsubscribe and record-keeping obligations be met after in force.
