The increasing use of non-legislative instruments to regulate consumer protection

Canadian policymakers and regulators are increasingly relying on non-legislative instruments, such as guidelines, codes of conducts and public commitments, to impose obligations on financial institutions. Being well-versed in the evolution of these consumer protection rules is key to the future success of businesses. Join our panel of Torys lawyers as they explore the rising popularity of these instruments, their legal status, their advantages and disadvantages, and how to challenge a regulator who is relying on them.
