The Competition Commission and the Office of Fair Trading (OFT) have called on the legal community to consult on a good practice guide for merger inquiries.

The two bodies jointly launched the consultation yesterday (25 May), asking for input from law firms, consultants and market research agencies on a best practice framework for presenting consumer survey evidence in merger investigations.

The consultation will lay out several examples of good survey design and detail a range of ways that can help improve the weight of evidence that can be given to survey results.
