The Digital Markets, Competition and Consumer Bill: what’s next for consumer rights in the UK?

On 25 April 2023, the UK Government unveiled its draft Digital Markets, Competition and Consumers Bill (the “Bill”) with its stated aim to establish a modernised, pro-competitive regime for digital markets. The Bill aims to restrict harmful, anti-competitive behaviour and to drive economic growth whilst ensuring high levels of consumer protection. This comes in the wake of major EU reforms covering the same ground (the Digital Markets Act, the Digital Content and Digital Services Directive and the Omnibus Directive, implementing the EU’s New Deal for Consumers).   In this article, we assess the impact of the draft Bill from a consumer protection perspective, focussing on the new rules for subscription contracts, the proposed clampdown on fake reviews and the enhanced enforcement powers of the CMA. Please see our related article "The UK Government’s Digital Markets, Competition And Consumers Bill is Published", which examines the impact of the Bill on the UK’s competition regime.

However, it also contains hugely important changes to competition and consumer law that will have far-reaching impacts across the UK economy. This short article provides an overview of the key points arising from the Bill in its current form.
