UK Competition law—daily round-up (20/12/2024)
A round-up of UK competition law developments, including (amongst other things) (1) the CMA publishing finalised versions of six updated mergers guidance documents to reflect jurisdictional and procedural changes introduced by DMCCA 2024, (2) the CMA’s decision that the Synopsys/Ansys merger meets the test for reference to phase 2, and (3) a CAT judgment largely dismissing Keltbray’s appeal against a construction cartel fine, as well as upholding the CMA’s application to revoke a settlement discount resulting in a higher fine.
