NOTE—on 24 May 2024, the Digital Markets, Competition and Consumers Act 2024 (DMCC Act) received Royal Assent. The DMCC Act introduces significant reforms to UK competition law. However, although it has received Royal Assent, the main provisions of the DMCC Act will be brought into force by statutory instrument, other than those relating to foreign acquisitions of newspapers (in force from 24 May 2024) and energy network mergers (in force from 24 July 2024). On 25 November 2024, The Digital Markets, Competition and Consumers Act 2024 (Commencement No 1 and Savings and Transitional Provisions) Regulations 2024 (SI 2024/1226) (the Regulations) were made. The Regulations bring into force on 1 January 2025 the provisions relating to competition law and the new digital markets competition regime. This Practice Note will be updated where applicable to reflect the relevant changes once the DMCC Act enters into force. For the key changes introduced by the DMCC Act, see further, The Digital Markets, Competition and Consumers Act 2024: key provisions from a competition and digital markets perspective
