CC: The Competition Commission (CC) has published recommendations arising from a review of its approach to remedies in market investigations. The review followed 2 partly successful appeals to the Competition Appeal Tribunal (CAT) last year against aspects of remedies resulting from the CC’s market investigations into Groceries and Payment Protection Insurance (PPI). In both cases, the CC’s overall findings were not affected.
