consumer law

On Tuesday 5 December 2023, the UK's Digital Markets, Competition and Consumers Bill will be read in the House of Lords for a second time. In this podcast episode, Ashurst’s expert panel recaps the key reforms in the Bill and the major issues that arose during the committee stage and the Commons debates. They also pinpoint where the House of Lords is likely to pay particular attention.

Together, Ashurst's Fiona Garside, Christopher Eberhardt and Hayden Dunnett delve into the new digital markets regime and the hotly debated standard of review for CMA decisions about digital platforms.

The trio also reflects on changes to consumer law enforcement, including:

• Giving the CMA direct enforcement powers
• The ability to impose significant fines and require consumer redress; and
• The prospects for changes to substantive consumer law. 

They explore other notable points from the Bill arising from recent enforcement and court decisions, including those affecting litigation funding, market investigation references and the motor fuel sector amendments.

The information provided is not intended to be a comprehensive review of all developments in the law and practice, or to cover all aspects of those referred to. Listeners should take legal advice before applying it to specific issues or transactions.

Why is it important for a business owner to understand the difference between registering a business name and registering a trademark? Why might you be hit with a costly lawsuit if you don’t do your due diligence?

There are a number of issues that arise for small business owners when it comes to intellectual property law, and the crossover with consumer law.

Why talk about business names and then delve into the law of trademarks and consumer law? That's because the first step usually taken by a business when starting up is to register their business name. But when you register your business name, you have to think about much more than just the name itself.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

• What is a trade mark.
• Why a business name isn’t a trade mark.
• The cross-over between trade mark law and consumer law, and another legal action called passing off.

We’ll also give you an insight into some of the most common legal issues encountered by small business owners and why we think the job of a lawyer is often misunderstood.
