The Canadian Retail Report - Spring 2016

June 15, 2016

Our Canadian Retail Report provides you with practical content to keep you current on the developments that affect retailers in Canada. In this issue, Timothy M. Banks provides an update on litigation regarding gift cards and prepaid cards. These cards continue to be a useful device for retailers and landlords to build brand loyalty; however, they must comply with governmental regulations across Canada. Two recent class action cases address these issues and have provided some guidance on gift card programs. David McCutcheon and Kathryn McCulloch remind readers of the powerful statutory remedy that retail landlords have under the Bulk Sales Act (Ontario) and what the consequences are for retailers who fail to comply with the Act. Martha Harrison explain the draft Trans-Pacific Partnership agreement released to the public by the United States Government and how it has the potential to reduce import costs for certain retailers and producers.
