The Competition Tribunal heard a second day of arguments on Feb. 29 in a case that could decide whether Cineplex can keep charging customers an extra fee for buying movie tickets online.

It’s the first time the tribunal is hearing a case involving “drip pricing” since the Competition Act explicitly recognized it as a harmful business practice in June 2022.
