RETHINKING THE ROLE OF THE COMPETITION TRIBUNAL

Abstract

The authors seek to show that the expectations for the role of the Competition Tribunal which were held in 1986 have not come to fruition. They present a number of arguments and proposals for reviving those visions for the Tribunal, including changes to discovery, intervention and case management procedures. They also examine the level of judicial deference accorded to the Tribunal within the context of broader development in the doctrine of judicial review of administrative tribunals.
