Manage episode 387698607 series 3529738
On Tuesday 5 December 2023, the UK's Digital Markets, Competition and Consumers Bill will be read in the House of Lords for a second time. In this podcast episode, Ashurst’s expert panel recaps the key reforms in the Bill and the major issues that arose during the committee stage and the Commons debates. They also pinpoint where the House of Lords is likely to pay particular attention.
Together, Ashurst's Fiona Garside, Christopher Eberhardt and Hayden Dunnett delve into the new digital markets regime and the hotly debated standard of review for CMA decisions about digital platforms.
The trio also reflects on changes to consumer law enforcement, including:
- Giving the CMA direct enforcement powers
- The ability to impose significant fines and require consumer redress; and
- The prospects for changes to substantive consumer law.
They explore other notable points from the Bill arising from recent enforcement and court decisions, including those affecting litigation funding, market investigation references and the motor fuel sector amendments.
