Overview

On Wednesday June 7, the Government of Canada announced that it is delaying indefinitely the coming into force of the private right of action (PRA) provisions (section 51) in Canada’s anti-spam law (CASL). For many, this pending threat of a private right of action had served as a call to action to finalize CASL compliance efforts that had been gathering dust on the shelves. However, notwithstanding this delay in implementing the PRA, CASL compliance should remain a key issue for organizations. This seminar outlines why CASL compliance remains critical, and sets out a roadmap to compliance with key milestones and deliverables, as well as key lessons learned from our past experience under CASL and what enforcement role the courts will now play.
