No deal? CMA announces standalone post-Brexit competition regime
The UK Government and the CMA have recently announced a framework for the transition to a standalone UK competition regime in the event of a “no deal” Brexit, with the CMA taking over jurisdiction on merger and antitrust reviews which are ongoing after exit day. A “no deal” scenario would also lead to the UK launching its own domestic State aid regime in March 2019.
