the Move from Administrative Flexibility to Juridification
Although the Office of Fair Trading (OFT), the main institution in charge of
competition regulation, has remained the same, in the past ten years the United Kingdom
has known two completely different, if not opposed types of regulation. Before 1998,
competition was subjected to the same kind of regulation as that which existed in other
areas : informal, non-legal, relying mainly on negotiation and persuasion and using the
threat of prosecution as a negotiating argument. However, since 1998, the introduction
of Community law into the UK system has radically changed the mode of competition
regulation. It has become much less flexible and is now characterised by considerable
juridification : law plays a central role in regulation, providing a formal framework in
which law suits and appeals are common procedures. |
