The Act makes significant changes by introducing new obligations and providing direct enforcement powers to the Competition and Markets Authority (CMA). Businesses will need to be aware of the new changes from the outset and adopt a proactive approach to their implementation, crucially to avoid being subject to unwanted penalties for breaches.
