Fair Trading

7 Jul 2021 04:36 PM

As the UK has now left the EU, it has also left its Consumer Protection Cooperation (CPC) network and, potentially, this will lead to a divergence in consumer law between the UK and EU over time. For the Competition and Markets Authority (CMA), formerly the UK’s representative on the CPC, this has meant a refocus on international consumer partnerships such as those with OECD and UNCTAD.

This session focuses on the impact that EU Exit has had on the CMA and its external relationships. It explores what the future of UK fair trading law might look like in the context of possible diversion from the EU’s new deal for consumers and the potential for the UK Government to reform consumer law, especially to face the challenges posed by digital markets.

Craig McClue, a TSO of many years, formerly CTSI’s Head of Policy and Chair of its Brexit Think Tank, presents this session.
