The Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) is consulting on the appeals procedure about decisions made by Ofwat to modify the codes which govern competition and regulate agreements between incumbent and non-domestic water suppliers.
The consultation covers draft rules of procedure for appeals that may be made to the CMA in relation to decisions made by the water sector regulator to modify the codes.
The Water Act 2014 (WA14) introduced reforms to the competition regime in the water sector. In particular, the WA14 introduced statutory codes to regulate agreements between incumbent undertakers and new entrants that want to provide water services in competition with those incumbents.
The CMA is also consulting on a draft guide that is intended to assist participants involved in such appeals.
Deadline for responses and comments on the consultation is 12th July 2017
