A) Probably.Restraints on trade are permissible, but they are scrutinized by the courts to ensure that they do not unduly restrict competition.Here, restricting DeAndre to selling bakery products in La Ronge is probably more restrictive than is necessary to protect the commercial interests of King's Bakery.
B) Probably not.Restraints of trade are dealt with exclusively as criminal matters by the Commissioner of Competition under the Competition Act.
C) Probably.The contractual term is a restraint on trade.That type of term may provide a private benefit, but it is never in the public interest.
D) Probably not.Unless a crime is committed, the public's interest in freedom of contract outweighs the public's interest in freedom of competition.
E) Probably.The contractual term is a regulatory offence.
