- CTEA1/2023
The Tribunal will not routinely order the Competition Commission to file a verifying affirmation for disclosure. Verification orders should not be automatic; they must be sought and justified by reference to special reasons explained in supporting evidence. Practical considerations (verification often being by senior legal staff and unlikely to materially increase diligence, and criminal prosecutions not being routinely required to verify disclosure) support leaving verification to case‑specific orders rather than routine directions.
