Competition Appeals Tribunal

The Competition Appeals Tribunal (CAT) is a specialized court in the UK that hears appeals related to competition law decisions. It addresses disputes involving the competition regulator's rulings on issues like market competition, mergers, and anti-competitive practices. The CAT can overturn or modify these rulings and also has the power to award damages. Its purpose is to ensure fair competition in the marketplace, protecting consumers and businesses from unfair practices while promoting a healthy economic environment. The tribunal is vital for resolving complex issues efficiently and ensuring adherence to competition laws.
