Teva Canada Limited / Apotex Inc. v. Sanofi-Aventis Canada Inc. et al (Ramipril)
2012 FC 552 / 2012 FC 553"I prefer Mr. Hamilton’s approach to the pricing of API and accept his estimated cost of [Redacted] throughout the Relevant Period."
...
"I accept the characterization of both Mr. Hamilton and Ms. Frederick. The claimed “lost business value” is a claim to future profits and not a recoverable loss under s. 8."
...
"I agree that an inventory adjustment is appropriate. On balance, I prefer Mr. Hamilton’s simple but effective method for calculating the appropriate amount of the adjustment. Accordingly, I would direct that a pipeline adjustment, computed in accordance with Mr. Hamilton’s methodology be applied. That would result in an addition to the Lost Volumes of an additional two months of Apo-ramipril capsule sales for each capsule dosage strength."
