Explanatory Note
(This note is not part of the Order)

This Order amends the Enterprise Act 2002 (Bodies Designated to make Super-complaints) Order 2004 (
S.I. 2004/1517
) by adding Consumer Scotland to the list of designated consumer bodies.

Consumer Scotland is a body corporate established by the Consumer Scotland Act
2020 (asp. 11)
to represent consumers in Scotland.

The Secretary of State may designate a body that appears to represent the interests of consumers and satisfies the criteria published by him in accordance with section 11(6) of the Enterprise Act
2002 (c. 40)
(“
the Act
”).

Under section 11(1) of the Act, a designated consumer body is entitled to make a complaint (known as a super-complaint) to the Competition and Markets Authority that any feature, or combination of features, of a market in the United Kingdom for goods or services is or appears to be significantly harming the interests of consumers.

An impact assessment has not been prepared for this Order as no, or no significant, impact on the private, or voluntary sectors is foreseen.
