Commonly known as Canada’s Anti-Spam Legislation, “CASL” contains a controversial enforcement mechanism known as the “private right of action” that will allow a person to seek compensation through the courts for various violations of CASL, PIPEDA and the Competition Act.
While most of CASL came into force on July 1, 2014, implementation of the private right of action was subject to a three-year delay scheduled to end on July 1, 2017. For further information on CASL’s private right of action, please see our previous bulletin: “Are You Ready for CASL’s Private Right of Action?”
