  • Case Comments and Notes Chronique De Jurisprudence Et Notes Monopoly, Detriment to the Public, and the K. C. Irving Case
    167 Case Comments and Notes Chronique de Jurisprudence et Notes Monopoly, Detriment to the Public, and the K. C. Irving Case INTRODUCTION The K. C. Irving case, reaching, as it did, the Supreme Court of Canada, is of substantial importance with respect to the effectiveness of the monopoly and merger provisions of the Combines Investigation Act. In a recent Annual Report, the Director of Investigation and Research stated: On November 16, 1976, the Supreme Court of Canada handl'd down its unanimous decision dismissing the Crown’s appeal against the acquittal in the K. C. Irving case. That decision disposed of whatever hopes may have remained that the present criminal prohibition of mergers could be an effective instrument.1 The need for a Supreme Court judgment, particularly in a merger case, had been prominent in the thinking of the administrators of the Combines Investigation Act ever since the trial court decisions acquitting the defendants in I960 in the Beer2 and Sugar3 cases. A common theme in the opinions expressed by Combines officials was that these decisions, by requiring a virtual elimination of competition to be illegal, seriously weakened the merger provision of the Act. The 1960 amendment specified that a lessening or likely lessening of competition to the detriment of the public in a merger case was proof of illegality. The Beer and Sugar decisions were arrived at under legislation in which operation, or likely operation to the detriment of the public, was required for illegality. In view of the different provisions, it is somewhat surprising that these decisions were as influential in official thinking as they evidently were.
