Conferences: CBA Competition Law Section Spring Forum – Toronto: May 28 2013

The National Competition Law Section of the CBA will be holding its annual Competition Law Spring Forum in Toronto on May 28, 2013.  From the CBA:

“Competition law and enforcement in Canada are in a state of flux.  The impact of the Competition Bureau’s recent leadership change on future enforcement activity remains to be seen. The Bureau’s leniency program is under scrutiny as a result of recent decisions in Maxzone and Couche-Tard.  And a number of important decisions are pending, including: (1) the Supreme Court of Canada’s decision in Pro-Sys which will determine the fate of indirect purchaser class actions in Canada; (2) the Competition Tribunal’s decisions in the Visa/MasterCard and TREB cases; (3) the Federal Court of Appeal’s decision in the CCS merger challenge.  We invite you to come and hear leading experts discuss and debate these and other important issues.”
