About this event

The Digital Markets, Competition and Consumers (DMCC) Act has changed consumer protection in the UK. The Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) can now enforce consumer law directly and fine businesses up to 10% of global turnover without going to court. For anyone selling online, pricing and promotional transparency is now a key compliance issue. 

This session covers what the new rules require in practice and what the CMA's enforcement activity so far tells us about how compliance will be judged.
