Competition Appeal Tribunal

The Competition Appeal Tribunal (CAT) is a specialized court in the UK that reviews disputes related to competition laws. It handles cases where businesses or individuals challenge decisions made by authorities like the Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) or challenge mergers, market investigations, or anti-competitive practices. The CAT ensures that competition rules are applied fairly and lawfully, providing an independent forum to resolve disagreements without going through regular courts. Its decisions help promote fair competition, benefit consumers, and maintain a healthy marketplace.
