Clarification Questions
Here you will find clarification questions the committee has received for the 2026 Moot
Q: Given the results at the Tribunal, Counsel for the Appellant would be representing Zenya, while Counsel for the Respondent would be representing the Commissioner?
A: Yes. Teams should be aware that the Official Rules include provisions related to cross-appeals.
Q: Paragraph 2 of the Revised Problem states, "...80% of its merchandise by 2026", but paragraph 13(a) of the problem states, "...80% of its operations by 2026." Did Zenya's campaign say merchandise or operations?
A: The word “merchandise” in paragraph 2 of the Revised Problem is replaced by the word “operations”.
Q: Is there a factual dispute about whether Zenya is an SME?
A: Mooters must consider the facts as presented in the Revised Problem. The Committee cannot provide further clarification on this point.
Q: Is the question on contravention of s. 74.01(1)(a) specifically a matter of cross appeal for the respondent?
A: As stated in rule IV d., Respondents may cross-appeal at their discretion.
Q: In terms of the Eco-Friendly Visuals and Messaging on Zenya's promotional materials/products in particular, such as their tote bags, what did the representations exactly look like? For example, regarding the slogan "Wear Change," what was the font size, possible bolding, colour choices, and how much space did the words take up on the side of the tote bag? Could these representations be characterized as "eye-catching"? Were there similar representations on other Zenya products?
A: Mooters must consider the facts as presented in the Revised Problem. There are no additional facts.
