Part 4: Independent Advice on and Monitoring of UK Internal Market Reporting, advisory and monitoring functions Section 42: Enforcement
This section establishes what action the CMA is able to take in response to non-compliance with the information requests described in the previous section.
	Subsections (4) and (5) set out the conditions where financial penalties may not be imposed because more than 4 weeks have expired since the CMA exercised its relevant functions.
	Subsection (6) requires the CMA to publish its policy approach in relation to subsequent action should it decide that a request for information has not been adequately fulfilled. Subsection (7) states that this policy approach must make clear what factors the CMA will use to decide the nature and amount of any financial policy imposed. Subsection (8) states that this approach can be revised, and revisions must also be publicised. Subsection (9) requires the CMA to consult each relevant national authority and such other persons as it sees fit in the process of putting together or revising the policy approach.
	The CMA can use its own discretion to decide whether the request for information has been complied with or not, though it must explicitly account for this approach. In making this decision, the CMA may also make reference to any obstruction or delay in the fulfilling of a request to produce documents. If it decides that a person has not fulfilled the request or has obstructed the production of documents, it is able to impose a financial penalty as described under subsection (1).
