The Merger (Prenotification) Regulations 1990
These Regulations are made under the Fair Trading Act 1973 (“the 1973 Act”) as amended by the Companies Act 1989. The 1973 Act as amended includes provisions in sections 75A to 75E to enable a prospective merger to be prenotified to the Director General of Fair Trading by means of a merger notice. Unless the merger is referred to the Monopolies and Mergers Commission within the period for considering the notice, no reference may be made.
