Advanz have said they will appeal. (No idea if the private capital companies are also appealing.) The CMA have replied to an email I sent asking about the timescales for what happens next. They have replied:
· The parties have 2 months to appeal a CMA decision (although they can apply for an extension)
· The appeal is made to a specialist tribunal – the Competition Appeals Tribunal (CAT)
· The CMA has 6 weeks to file a defence
· It is difficult to predict how long the process will take after that, although some guidance is provided on the CAT website: catribunal.org.uk/frequentl...
The CAT website also has some information about how the process is conducted, and has a wide discretion in relation to issues such as costs and penalties.
