“What I most enjoyed about the book is the next-to-last chapter dealing with proceedings before the Competition Tribunal. Just as with criminal matters, there are not a lot of matters before the Competition Tribunal. This book expands upon and helps the reader understand the Competition Tribunal rules of procedure through the pleadings stage, timetabling of matters, discovery, experts and trial. This is perhaps the only book that does this in such detail.”
— Michael Binetti, Affleck Greene McMurtry LLP Excerpt from Canadian Competition Law Review
“While there is a relatively small, but good, body of existing Canadian competition law books, this new text fills an important gap, providing a comprehensive summary of the enforcement side of competition law in Canada. Particularly helpful in this next text are the practice related tools, which include practice related strategies, flow charts of criminal offences and stages for criminal and civil hearings, tables and summaries of penalties for different Competition Act provisions and summaries of key cases in table format.
This book also provides detailed discussions of competition law related topics that are difficult to find elsewhere, such as step-by-step overviews of criminal trials and Competition Tribunal hearings, summaries of the different types of privilege applicable in competition law matters and the sentencing process in criminal cases, to mention a few.”

“In my over 30 years of work at the Competition Bureau, culminating as the Commissioner of Competition, I regrettably did not have access to such a complete treatise on the Act ... Not only does the handbook provide a comprehensive treatment of the law and the relevant guidelines, it is also sprinkled with insights from a seasoned competition law practitioner adding 'inside baseball' nuances from his time spent as a government litigator.”
— John Pecman, Former Commissioner of Competition
“This book has a very logical flow, and each chapter is thoughtfully organized and supported with a wealth of primary and secondary source information. Di Domenico provides extensive overviews of the various adjudicative processes with helpful advice along the way.”
