12:00 pm – 1:00 pm

Join the CBA Competition Litigation Committee for a dynamic panel discussion on the evolving landscape of administrative monetary penalties (“AMPs”) before the Competition Tribunal. In light of significant amendments to the Competition Act, which introduced substantially higher maximum penalties for certain types of reviewable conduct, this timely discussion will explore recent developments in the new AMP regime.

Topics covered will include: approaches to calculating the “value of benefit derived” from anti-competitive conduct; and the constitutionality of the enhanced AMP provisions; the purpose and function of AMPs and how they are distinguished from traditional damages; and the relationship between AMPs and the broader objectives of the Competition Act.
