Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

It is true that it is sometimes possible to appeal a decision of the Competition Tribunal to the Federal Court. This is because the Competition Tribunal is an administrative body and its decisions can be reviewed by the Federal Court under certain circumstances.

The other statements are not true:
A) Not every type of offence can lead to an award of damages. Damages are typically awarded in cases involving civil reviewable matters and civil agreements between competitors.
C) A reviewable matter is a type of offence that can trigger an investigation by the Competition Bureau and can result in a variety of remedies, including orders to stop the conduct, orders to pay administrative monetary penalties, and orders to pay restitution.
D) Dual matters involve two or more parties engaging in anti-competitive behaviour, not multiple offences by a single offender.
E) The Competition Act does allow for private actions, although the procedures and requirements for doing so are complex.
