Part 2: Competition Proceedings before the Competition Appeal Tribunal Schedule 3: Power of Competition Appeal Tribunal to grant declaratory relief
Paragraphs (2) and (3) amend section 47A of the Competition Act 1998 to insert subsection (3A) which expands the types of claims which may be made in proceedings before the CAT to include a claim for the making of a declaration (or declarator in relation to Scotland).
	Paragraph (4) inserts section 47DA into the Competition Act 1998. This section provides that declarations or, in Scotland, declarators, granted by the Tribunal have the same effect as those granted by the High Court or the Court of Session respectively and that the Tribunal must apply the same principles as the High Court and Court of Session when deciding whether to grant a declaration or declarator. Further, the Tribunal may grant a declaration or declarator whether or not any other remedy is claimed.
	Paragraphs (5) and (6) make a consequential amendment to section 47F of the Competition Act 1998 to reflect that Schedule 8A to that Act now makes provision in respect of declaratory relief as well as other kinds of claims.
	Paragraph (7) amends section 49 of the Competition Act 1998 to make provision for appeals to be made against a decision by the Tribunal to grant declaratory relief.
	Paragraph (8) makes consequential amendments to Schedule 8A to the Competition Act 1998 regarding the conduct of claims before a court or the CAT to ensure that claims for declaratory relief may be sought in addition to, or instead of, claims in respect of loss or damages.
	Paragraph (9) inserts an additional paragraph 21B into Schedule 4 to the Enterprise Act 2002 so as to include declaratory relief to the list of areas which the rules, made by the Secretary of State regarding proceedings before the Tribunal, may cover.
