ALERTER Digital Markets, Competition and Consumers Act 2024, Part 4 – Henderson Chambers
‘Part 4 of the Digital Markets, Competition and Consumers Act 2024 (the “Act” or “DMCCA”) covers consumer rights and dispute resolution. It primarily collates existing legislation regulating unfair business-to-consumer practices by repealing and restating the Consumer Protection from Unfair Trading Regulations 2008 (“CPUT”). It also provides both a strengthened and new dual enforcement mechanism whereby both regulators (primarily, the Competition and Markets Authority (“CMA”)) and private individuals can bring actions following infringements (replacing Part 8 of the Enterprise Act 2002). The new enforcement scheme under Part 3 was considered by Chambers’ previous Alerter here.’
