Abstract

In Chapter 12, Barry Rodger retraces his footsteps in relation to his contributions in both earlier collections on the theme of private enforcement in the UK, with a particular slant on the extent to which consumers have benefited, or may benefit, from statutory and case law developments in the area. Accordingly, this chapter assesses how private enforcement of competition law rights has developed in the UK over the last twenty years. Key legislative developments, inter alia the Competition Act 1998, Enterprise Act 2002 and Consumer Rights Act 2015, have transformed the private enforcement architecture, notably with the introduction, and increasingly significant and enhanced role of the specialist tribunal, Competition Appeal Tribunal, and the availability of an opt-out collective redress mechanism. The chapter assesses the key UK statutory and case law developments, in comparison with the US private antitrust enforcement model, to reflect on the disappointing extent to which effective redress for consumers has been provided to date, despite those legal and institutional developments, although the recent Supreme Court ruling in Merricks should be pivotal in this context.
英国的私人执法
在第12章中,Barry Rodger回顾了他在早期两部关于英国私人执法主题的文集中的贡献,特别倾向于消费者从该地区的成文法和判例法发展中受益或可能受益的程度。因此,本章评估了过去二十年来英国竞争法权利的私人执法是如何发展起来的。主要的立法发展,特别是1998年《竞争法》、2002年《企业法》和2015年《消费者权益法》,改变了私人执法架构,特别是引入了专家法庭、竞争上诉法庭,其作用日益重要和增强,并提供了选择退出集体补救机制。本章评估了英国成文法和判例法的关键发展,与美国私人反垄断执法模式进行比较,以反思迄今为止为消费者提供有效补救的程度令人失望,尽管有这些法律和制度上的发展,尽管最近最高法院对梅里克斯的裁决在这方面应该是关键的。
