Enterprise and Regulatory Reform Act 2013

Section 54: Recovery of CMA’s costs in respect of price control references

386.This section amends the Communications Act 2003 to provide that the CMA will have the power to recover its costs in respect of a price control reference from parties appealing price control decisions under section 193 of that Act, to the extent that their appeal was unsuccessful. The CMA may also recover costs from interveners, but not from Ofcom.

387.A requirement to pay the CMA’s costs will only take effect after the CAT has made its decision on the case and only if the Tribunal decides in accordance with the CMA’s determination. This requirement is because the allocation of costs between parties must take into account the extent to which the appeal was successful, meaning that if the Tribunal decides the case differently the original cost order will no longer be appropriate.

388.If the Tribunal does decide differently, the CMA has the power to make a new cost order that reflects the Tribunal’s decision. The date on which this new cost order would take effect would be specified in the order.

389.The CMA’s decision to make a cost order can be appealed to the CAT (see amendments to sections 192 to 195 of the Act of 2003 in Schedule 15).

Nodiadau Esboniadol

Testun a grëwyd gan yr adran o’r llywodraeth oedd yn gyfrifol am destun y Ddeddf i esbonio beth mae’r Ddeddf yn ceisio ei wneud ac i wneud y Ddeddf yn hygyrch i ddarllenwyr nad oes ganddynt gymhwyster cyfreithiol. Cyflwynwyd Nodiadau Esboniadol ym 1999 ac maent yn cyd-fynd â phob Deddf Gyhoeddus ac eithrio Deddfau Adfeddiannu, Cronfa Gyfunol, Cyllid a Chyfnerthiad.

Asesiadau Effaith

Impact Assessments generally accompany all UK Government interventions of a regulatory nature that affect the private sector, civil society organisations and public services. They apply regardless of whether the regulation originates from a domestic or international source and can accompany primary (Acts etc) and secondary legislation (SIs). An Impact Assessment allows those with an interest in the policy area to understand:

  • Why the government is proposing to intervene;
  • The main options the government is considering, and which one is preferred;
  • How and to what extent new policies may impact on them; and,
  • The estimated costs and benefits of proposed measures.
