Canada’s Anti-Spam Law (CASL) received Royal Assent in December 2010, and it is just a matter of time before it comes into force. CASL is designed to be one of the most stringent anti-spam regimes in the world and is intended to address the problem of spam, unauthorized interception of electronic messages and installation of software on a user’s computer without consent. Accordingly, all businesses that regularly communicate with Canadian customers and suppliers electronically will be significantly impacted. This extends from electronic messages, text messages, instant messages and social media through to software installation, automatic updates, software support and maintenance services. Businesses that do not comply with CASL’s requirements may be subject to both administrative monetary penalties and private law suits. This session is intended to help business prepare in advance by providing highlights of CASL, particularly areas that directly impact businesses, and address issues that corporate counsel should be aware of to ensure compliance.
