The Digital Markets, Competition and Consumers Act 2024 ("DMCC Act") provides for two regimes for the enforcement of consumer law: a civil court-based regime, under which the Competition and Markets Authority (“CMA”) and certain other enforcement bodies can seek orders from the court; and a new, direct enforcement regime, under which the CMA (and no other enforcement body) is empowered to make its own decisions on, and impose sanctions in respect of, breaches of consumer law, without having to apply to court for an order.
