Decoding CMA and CAT decisions - UK competition law enforcement report
Did you know that 63% of CMA antitrust investigations are instigated because of
third-party complaints or tip offs?
Or that employee interviews take place in 77% of all CMA antitrust investigations?
As a cross-sectoral regulator, the Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) can investigate any business, in any sector in the UK. What can we learn from its 164 investigations and appeals to May 2024 that will inform our strategies and working practices in future?
This new data-driven report, the first of its kind, has analysed all 164 cases to tell you how CMA investigations are most commonly initiated, the different patterns of activity between sectors, the nature of the conduct investigated, the risks involved for directors and employees, how CMA investigations most commonly end and the likely rates of success of appealing a CMA decision. Having analysed the data, CMS competition experts share their views on what it means for businesses operating within the CMA’s jurisdiction.
The data provided in this report is backwards-looking so we also share our thoughts with you on the trends we see shaping the competition landscape in the near-future:
