Trebilcock and trade-offs
Through discussion of a sample of his work, this article identifies a key theme in Michael Trebilcock’s astonishingly deep and broad body of scholarship: trade-offs matter. Trebilcock’s analysis of a House of Lords case, Macauley v Schroeder Publishing, demonstrates the perils of one-sided economic analysis: the court ignored trade-offs in determining that a contract was unfair when there were facts and economic arguments that offered strong indi…
An economic analysis of waiver of tort in negligence actions
The legal status, scope, and policy implications of the waiver of tort doctrine have been a prominent, controversial, and unresolved feature of many recent class action proceedings in Canada, especially in products liability cases, where plaintiffs have sought to claim disgorgement of profits or revenues as an alternative to proof of damage or injury. The doctrine in recent years has been invoked frequently by plaintiffs in negligence class actio…
After the Paris Attacks: Responses in Canada, Europe, and Around the Globe
The violent attacks on journalists at Charlie Hebdo and shoppers in a Jewish supermarket in Paris in January 2015 left seventeen dead and shocked the world. In the aftermath, the public struggles with unsettling questions: What is the cost of free expression? Do the world’s major cities embrace multiculturalism? Is the broad range of proposed new security measures too intrusive?After the Paris Attacks brings together leading scholars and journali…
Panel selection on high courts
Outcomes of appeals to high courts will depend in part on the ideological preferences of the justices who decide the appeals. The institutional structure of a high court may affect how far these preferences influence outcomes. The US Supreme Court, for example, hears almost all appeals en banc, which means that there is no opportunity to ‘game’ the outcome by choosing which justices hear the appeal. High courts in other countries such as Canada, …
Abuse of Joint Dominance in Canadian Competition Policy
The Canadian Competition Bureau has recently offered new draft guidelines on the abuse of dominance that, in the area of joint dominance, depart from the existing guidelines in two ways: first, the bureau no longer considers as a potential abuse of joint dominance the adoption of practices that facilitate supra-competitive pricing in an oligopoly; second, while in the past some form of explicit coordination was required for an assessment of joint…
Why Does Ontario Require Equal Treatment in Sales of Corporate Control
There is a long-standing controversy over the question of whether controlling and minority shareholders should be treated equally in sales of control. Ontario securities law adopts a mandatory ‘equal opportunity rule’ that requires acquirers in most cases to extend a premium offer to purchase controlling shares to minority shareholders and controlling shareholders on equal terms. This article concludes that, having regard to theory, empirical evi…
The Design of Regulatory Institutions for the Canadian Telecommunications Sector
As the result of competition arising from new technology, extensive economic regulation of the telecommunications industry has become less appropriate over time. In this article we consider corresponding institutional reform. Both the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC) and the Competition Bureau/Tribunal are presently involved in telecom regulation. We propose a framework in which there is a clearer division of res…
