The Continuing Legal Education Society of British Columbia (CLE BC) has published its annual Review of Law & Practice – 2013, including my joint 2012 Competition Law Chapter (see: Annual Review of Law & Practice – 2013). Overview (from CLE BC):
“Discover the most efficient way to stay informed, with key developments in 33 practice areas. Each year, lawyers and other readers around the province turn to CLEBC’s Annual Review of Law & Practice to learn about the key developments and trends in British Columbia law. Thriving in its 22nd annual edition, Annual Review provides an easy, affordable, and reliable way to keep its readers on top of the pivotal issues and trends. This year’s edition is bigger and better than before, and introduces a new chapter on “Competition Law”. The book now contains 34 chapters packed with accessible commentary about the main legislative, case law, and practice changes in British Columbia. Chapters are written by BC lawyers who have recognized interests and knowledge in particular areas of law. All good reasons why, in British Columbia, Annual Review is the essential updating tool for the busy practitioner.”
My joint Competition Law Chapter includes a summary of the 2012 developments in the major areas of Canadian competition law including: misleading advertising, mergers, the Investment Canada Act, abuse of dominance, criminal matters, private actions and new Competition Bureau guidelines.
