The amendments made by section 54 of, and paragraphs 42 to 45 of Schedule 15 to, the Act (recovery of CMA’s costs in respect of price control references) do not apply in relation to a determination on a price control reference if the notice of the appeal which gave rise to the price control reference was received by the Competition Appeal Tribunal before the commencement date.

For the purposes of this paragraph, “price control reference” means a price control matter referred to the Commission before the commencement date or to the CMA on or after that date by virtue of section 193 of the Communications Act 200335 and “price control matter” has the same meaning as in that section.
