The new Digital Markets, Competition and Consumers Bill is on
its way, and it's BIG news.
The main headline is that, its current form, it will give the
UK's Competition & Markets Authority (CMA) very strong
powers to issue financial penalties of up to 10% of annual global
turnover, without the need for them to go via a court!
To find out more about the new Bill and what it might mean for
your business, read our new Guide to the Digital Markets, Competition and
Consumers Bill
In our guide, we focus on the consumer law aspects of the Bill,
rather than the competition elements.
The content of this article is intended to provide a general
guide to the subject matter. Specialist advice should be sought
about your specific circumstances.
