Section 74.134 — Competition Act: Failure to serve

If, on application by the Commissioner, the Tribunal determines that a person, without good and sufficient cause, the proof of which lies on the person, has failed to serve a copy of an agreement on the Commissioner in accordance with subsection 74.133(1), the Tribunal may order the person to serve the Commissioner with a copy of the agreement; issue an interim order prohibiting any person from doing anything that, in the Tribunal’s opinion, may constitute or be directed toward the implementation of the agreement; order the person to pay, in any manner that the Tribunal specifies, an administrative monetary penalty in an amount not exceeding $10,000 for each day on which they fail to serve a copy of the agreement on the Commissioner, determined by the Tribunal after taking into account any evidence of the following: the person’s financial position, the person’s history of compliance with this Act, the duration of the period of non-compliance, and any other relevant factor; or grant any other relief that the Tribunal considers appropriate. The terms of an order under paragraph (1)(c) are to be determined with a view to promoting conduct by the person that is in conformity with the purposes of this Act and not with a view to punishment. The administrative monetary penalty imposed under paragraph (1)(c) is a debt due to His Majesty in right of Canada and may be recovered as such from the person in a court of competent jurisdiction.
