(a)quash the decision (to the extent that the appeal is allowed);

(b)remit the matter back to the economic regulator for reconsideration and determination in accordance with any directions given by the CMA;

(c)substitute the CMA’s decision for that of the economic regulator (to the extent that the appeal is allowed) and give any directions to the economic regulator or any other party to the appeal.

(5)A person to whom a direction is given under that subsection must comply with it.

(6)A direction given under that subsection to a person other than the economic regulator is enforceable as if it were an order of the High Court or (in Scotland) an order of the Court of Session.

(7)For the purposes of this section a decision is a “price control decision”, in relation to the modification of a condition of a licence, if the purpose of the condition is, in the CMA’s opinion, to limit or control the charges on, or the revenue of, the holder of the licence.

(8)In determining for the purposes of subsection (7) what the purpose of a condition is, the condition may be assessed on its own or in combination with any other conditions of the licence.
