Background

  • The case involves a judicial review of a Canadian International Trade Tribunal finding. The Tribunal determined that dumping and subsidizing of decorative and non-structural plywood from China did not injure the domestic industry.

Applicants' Position

  • Domestic producers argued the Tribunal applied unreasonable legal tests in its past injury and threat of injury analyses.
  • They contended that like goods produced domestically did compete with the dumped and subsidized goods from China.

Court's Decision

  • The Tribunal's decision was found reasonable and upheld.
  • The applicants' application for judicial review was dismissed.
