Part 1: Digital Markets Further enforcement provisions etc Section 99: Director disqualification
This section inserts new text into the Company Directors Disqualification Act 1986. The Company Directors Disqualification Act 1986 provides that the court must make a disqualification order against a director of a company which has breached competition law if the court considers the person’s conduct was such as to make them unfit to be concerned in the management or control of a company. This section will enable disqualification of a person from being a director as a consequence of their involvement in an infringement of a requirement relating to conduct requirements or pro-competition interventions. The disqualification can be for up to 15 years.
