Pro-competition interventions

Duration and revocation etc of pro-competition orders
53
1
A pro-competition order comes into force at such time as the CMA may specify in the order.
2
A pro-competition order ceases to have effect—
a
when revoked under this section, or
b
subject to provision made in reliance on section 17 (existing obligations), when the designation to which it relates ceases to have effect.
3
The CMA may revoke a pro-competition order where it considers that it is appropriate to do so, having regard in particular to any change of circumstances since the pro-competition order was made.
4
Where the CMA decides to revoke a pro-competition order, it must give a notice to that effect to the designated undertaking to which the order relates.
5
The notice may include transitional, transitory or saving provision in relation to the revocation of the pro-competition order.
6
The CMA must publish the notice as soon as reasonably practicable after giving it.
7
Where a pro-competition order resulting from a PCI investigation is revoked without being replaced, the CMA may not make a new pro-competition order in reliance on the same PCI investigation.
8
The fact that a pro-competition order ceases to have effect does not affect the exercise of any functions in relation to a breach or possible breach of that order.
