Abstract
This article examines the draft UK Consumer Rights Bill, introduced into the UK Parliament in January 2014 as the Consumer Rights Bill 2013. It outlines its proposed reforms to the opt-in follow-on collective action that can be brought in the Competition Appeal Tribunal. In particular, it questions whether the proposed reforms will achieve the aim of furthering access to justice and compensatory damages for individuals who have suffered loss as a consequence of competition law breaches. It further questions whether the introduction of a statutory cy press mechanism to transfer any unallocated damages frustrates that aim.
