Competition Appeal Tribunal (CAT)

The Competition Appeal Tribunal (CAT) is a specialized court in the UK that reviews disputes related to competition laws. It handles cases involving businesses or individuals challenging decisions made by regulators, such as whether a company has engaged in anti-competitive behavior or whether mergers should be approved. The CAT offers an independent and expert forum for resolving these disputes outside regular courts, ensuring fair competition and compliance with competition laws. Its decisions help maintain a level playing field in the market, protecting consumer interests and promoting fair business practices.
