Private enforcement of competition law: proposed reforms within the UK and EU | Practical Law
This article outlines the UK and EU proposals to reform private enforcement. The combined effect of these changes will greatly increase the number of private actions taken in the UK against infringing companies and the size of damages awards. Underpinning this will be an overhaul of the Competition Appeal Tribunal (CAT) and Competition Markets Authority (CMA), which will both benefit from an enhanced jurisdiction and new powers.
