CMA publishes remedies breach guidance

 

CMA publishes remedies breach guidance

 

The Competition and Markets Authority warns that companies should report breaches of commitments in merger and competition cases “as soon as reasonably possible”.

It warns that companies should not seek to remedy violations without first approaching the authority.

The CMA has published guidance setting out the procedures to follow in such cases and  how the CMA will investigate breaches.

The CMA can seek a Court order requiring compliance with a commitment.  The Court may also impose fines and individuals face prison sentences for up to two years for failing to comply.
