Appeals and reviews in the Competition Appeal Tribunal

Resource type: Practice note

Status: Maintained

Jurisdiction: United Kingdom

This Practice note reviews the jurisdiction and procedure of the Competition Appeal Tribunal (CAT) with regard to appeals under the Competition Act 1998 and applications for review under the Enterprise Act 2002. The note considers the legal framework for such litigation and surveys the approach taken by the CAT to procedural issues in its case law.

The government is currently consulting on proposals to reform the UK competition regime. As well as proposing to establish a new single Competition and Markets Authority to replace the OFT and Competition Commission, the proposals potentially affect all areas of UK competition law, although they largely relate to procedures rather than the substance of the law. Some of the proposals relate to the role of the CAT in the competition regime. For further information see BIS consults on options for reforming UK competition regime.
