CMA publishes new guidance on DMCCA enforcement

On 28 August 2025, in anticipation of the CMA ramping up its investigative prowess of the DMCCA in September, and as part of a wider update, it published two new pages dedicated to its aim on promoting the awareness of its new powers. 

It published a page on “How the CMA gathers information to enforce consumer law” and “How the CMA uses its direct consumer enforcement powers”. These pages are simplified versions of its more detailed guidance which was published earlier this year but acts as a straightforward reminder about the CMA’s new powers to businesses.
