The International Antitrust Law Committee of the American Bar Association has published a new chapter rounding up key antitrust developments in 14 countries in 2012, including Canada, as well as Brazil, Mexico, the United States, Australia, China and India. Canadian developments discussed include mergers (including the Bureau’s revised Merger Process Guidelines and the TMX/Maple merger), abuse of dominance (including the Bureau’s updated Abuse of Dominance Guidelines and TREB real estate board case), cartels (including the first conviction under Canada’s amended cartel rules) and price maintenance (the Visa/MasterCard price maintenance case).
