Part 1: Digital Markets Enforcement of conduct requirements Section 31: Enforcement orders
This section gives power to the CMA to impose obligations on an undertaking for the purpose of remedying a breach of the conduct requirements, by way of enforcement order. Enforcement orders are a key enforcement tool and sit alongside other means of enforcement set out in Chapter 7.
	Where a provision refers to an "enforcement order" it is referring to both standard enforcement orders and enforcement orders made on an interim basis (set out in section 32 - "interim enforcement orders") unless otherwise specified.
	Subsections (2) and (3) provide that enforcement orders may be varied, and may include transitional, transitory and saving provision.
	Subsection (4) specifies information that the enforcement order must contain. The enforcement order must specify the breach (or in the case of an interim enforcement order, suspected breach, see section 32(2)) to which it relates. Subsection (5) provides that the CMA may consult such persons as it considers appropriate before making or varying an order.
	Subsection (6) provides that where the CMA wishes to make an enforcement order (other than an interim enforcement order under section 32) it must do so as soon as is reasonably practicable after giving a notice of the conduct investigation findings under section 30. This is to make sure that the CMA acts swiftly where it wants to make an enforcement order after finding a breach of conduct requirements has occurred, while also providing it with flexibility to consult on a proposed order under subsection (5) where it considers that is appropriate.
	Subsection (7) requires that, for reasons of public transparency, as soon as reasonably practicable after giving an undertaking an enforcement order the CMA must publish the order.
	Subsection (8) enables the CMA to consent to an undertaking doing something that would otherwise constitute a breach of an enforcement order. This is to allow for flexibility in relation to particular circumstances. For example, an interim enforcement order may need to be introduced urgently to prevent immediate harm. The designated undertaking may be able to show that it should be able to continue particular aspects of its conduct which could breach the interim enforcement order, but which will not result in any harm.
