Competition Act investigations

When carrying out investigations under the Competition Act, we focus on outcomes that add value to both markets and consumers through effective prioritisation, investigation and improved legal certainty. We will use the entire range of policy and enforcement instruments available to the OFT in tackling problems within markets.

We use our prioritisation framework to assess competition cases. This is part of our commitment to take a more targeted and transparent approach to casework. We will develop the framework and apply it across whole range of work carried out by the OFT, including consumer cases and market studies.
