Part 8 of the Enterprise Act 2002 (“the Act”) implements Directive 98/27/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 19th May 1998 on injunctions for the protection of consumers' interests (OJ L 166, 11.6.98, p. 51). It enables persons and bodies which are general or designated enforcers to seek enforcement orders prohibiting domestic and Community infringements which harm the collective interests of consumers. Part 8 also enables Community enforcers to seek enforcement orders prohibiting Community infringements. This Order specifies the laws in the United Kingdom which give effect to the EC Directives, and provisions of Directives, listed in Schedule 13 of the Act (as amended by Article 2 of this Order) together with additional protections permitted under them in respect of which acts or omissions may constitute Community infringements.
