If there was one certainty in advertising, no matter how hard you tried, a complicated ad inevitably contained disclaimers, otherwise known as “miceprint” or “birdseed”. Headlines were sacred and could not be obscured by legal rhetoric. That position may well be on the decline as recent cases suggest a very hard line on disclaimers that in any way change the general impression of the visual or the headline. This development, coupled with the Supreme Court of Canada’s new definition of the “credulous consumer” and a new anti-spam law, is giving even seasoned advertising lawyers heartburn.
