Enterprise Act 2002

Section 187 & Schedule 12: Commission rules of procedure

399.This section gives the CC Chairman a new duty to make and publish rules of procedure to regulate the conduct of CC investigations under Parts 3 and 4 and the other enactments listed in paragraph 19(a)(9) of Schedule 7 to CA 1998 (as inserted by subsection (3)). Provision is made for the Chairman to consult with members of the CC and such other persons as he or she considers appropriate before making such rules (subsection (4)). The Chairman retains the existing FTA 1973 power to issue guidance to reporting groups on the conduct of references (subsection (6)). This may be useful for areas of procedure where some flexibility and discretion for panels is desirable.

400.Schedule 12 contains a non-exhaustive list of the matters that may be covered by the CC Chairman's rules of procedure.
