Now that the application for leave has been denied, TREB stands as good law for abuse of dominance cases going forward, greatly expanding the previously-understood scope of s. 79. This panel will assess the boundaries of the abuse of dominance provision as it currently stands, including:
- How far has TREB stretched the concept of a “competitor” for the purposes of section 79(1)(b)?
- What are the implications for so-called “joint” dominance cases?
- How will the Bureau enforce s.79 and what insight can be gleaned from the Bureau’s post TREB enforcement actions?
- How does Canada stack up against foreign jurisdictions on this issue?
