Part 3: Enforcement of consumer protection law Jurisdiction etc Section 175: Evidence
This section, which restates and updates section 228 of the Enterprise Act 2002, allows convictions in the criminal courts and findings in the civil courts to be admitted in evidence for the purpose of proving that an infringing conduct has occurred. It is still necessary to prove, for example, that the conduct harms the collective interests of consumers.
	Subsection (1) provides that convictions in any related criminal proceedings in the UK may be used as evidence in proceedings under this Part.
	Subsection (2) enables findings in civil proceedings to be admitted in evidence under this Part, except where the findings have been overturned on appeal (subsection (3)). Subsection (4) defines in respect of whose conduct findings may be made and evidence may be admitted under this section.
