In this episode, Geraint Lloyd-Taylor and Jen Dinmore discuss the Competition and Markets Authority's draft annual plan for 2026-27 and what it signals for consumer law enforcement in the UK.

For the first time, consumer law enforcement takes centre stage in the CMA's strategic priorities, marking a significant shift in regulatory focus. This episode explores the CMA's powerful new enforcement tools under the DMCC Act, including the ability to issue fines of up to 10% of annual global turnover and require financial redress for consumers.
