Yesterday, Canada's federal government announced that it is
suspending the implementation of the private right of action in
Canada's anti-spam legislation, known as CASL. The private
right of action, which would have authorized private lawsuits for

July 1, 2017.
The balance of the legislation remains in force, and businesses
must comply with it, pending an upcoming parliamentary review of
CASL.
