DoorDash Seeks to Have Competition Bureau Case on Misleading Prices Dismissed
- At the Competition Tribunal, DoorDash Inc. asks to dismiss the case alleging it misled customers, opposing the Commissioner of Competition Matthew Boswell’s June application.
- Amid drip pricing allegations, Commissioner of Competition Matthew Boswell last month alleged DoorDash marketed lower prices than consumers paid, with fixed fees added at checkout.
- DoorDash contends its fees are prominently displayed on merchant store pages and at checkout, asserting none are unavoidable under the Competition Act.
- Pending the Tribunal’s decision, the Commissioner of Competition seeks penalties and restitution to customers, while DoorDash asserts it should face none.
- Looking beyond Canada, DoorDash asserts the Competition Act doesn’t require all-in prices, only sufficient information, and says it must pay nearly US$17-million to New York delivery workers.
