The appellants, managers of a corporation suspected of price discrimination, were ordered to appear and testify under oath pursuant to s. 17 of the Combines Investigation Act.
They sought a declaration that s. 17 violates s. 7 of the Charter.
Relying on the concurrently released decision in Thomson Newspapers Ltd. v. Canada, the Supreme Court of Canada dismissed the appeal, holding that s. 17 does not infringe s. 7 of the Charter.
