UK merger control: Select jurisdictional, procedural and substantive issues

Colin Raftery, Elie Yoo and Andrew Hilland

Chapter 25 in Research Handbook on Global Merger Control, 2023, pp 594-616 from Edward Elgar Publishing

Abstract: This chapter provides an overview of the UK merger control regime. It considers some of the regime’s unique features, including its voluntary nature and the CMA’s flexible jurisdictional tests. The chapter outlines the substantive test in UK merger control and responds to the suggestion that the CMA has adopted an increasingly interventionist approach to enforcement in recent years. It sets out the challenges of ensuring effective merger control in digital markets and highlights significant themes in the CMA’s recent practice. It also summarises the CMA’s approach to the assessment of remedies. The chapter concludes by addressing the impact of the UK’s departure from the EU and considering potential legislative reforms that may shape the future of UK merger control.
