London partner Matthew Hall co-hosted the June 30 episode of the ABA’s Our Curious Amalgam podcast: “What Is the Role of Behavioural Economics in Consumer Protection Enforcement? The UK’s New DMCC Act Regime.”
The UK’s consumer protection regime changed early in 2025. How will behavioural economics be used by the UK Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) in applying the rules? Podcast participants discuss previous consumer protection cases investigated by the CMA and the new regime under the Digital Markets, Competition and Consumers Act 2024. Listen to this episode to learn more about the application of behavioural economics to consumer protection enforcement and how companies should prepare.
Our Curious Amalgam explores topics in antitrust, competition, consumer protection, data protection, and privacy law around the world with leading experts in those areas. It is an amalgam because it is a group of diverse topics all in one place. It is curious because it gets the experts and asks them in-depth questions.
