(2) Before making an application for a consumer protection order the enforcer— (a) must by notice inform the CMA of its intention to do so, and (b) may only proceed to make the application after expiry of the minimum period or, if sooner, after the CMA has by notice informed the enforcer that it consents to the making of the application. (3) The “minimum period” is— (a) in the case of an enforcement order or an online interface order, 14 days beginning with the day on which the notice under subsection (2)(a) is given; (b) in the case of an interim enforcement order or an interim online interface order, 7 days beginning with the day on which the notice under subsection (2)(a) is given. (4) Where an enforcer proceeds to make an application for a consumer protection order, the enforcer must by notice inform the CMA of the result of the application. (5) Subsection (6) applies where the enforcer makes an application under section 166 in respect of a failure to comply with— (a) a consumer protection order, or (b) an undertaking given under section 156 or 159.

One line that says what changes, such as "Halve the dog tax".

Who it helps, what it costs, what it fixes. It is what persuades people to support it.

A proposal here is not law. Support on Solon is evidence that people want the change; the official route says what it takes to make it law.
