Part 8 of the Enterprise Act 2002 (c.40) (“the Act”) enables persons and bodies which are general or designated enforcers to seek enforcement orders prohibiting domestic and Community infringements. Section 211(1) of the Act defines a domestic infringement as an act or omission done or made by a person in the course of a business which falls within section 211(2) and harms the collective interests of consumers in the United Kingdom.
Article 2 of this Order specifies acts or omissions in respect of any provision of Parts 1 and 2 and Chapter 5 of Part 3 of the Consumer Rights Act 2015 (c.15) as acts or omissions which may, taken with the requirements of section 211(2)(a) to (g) of the Act, constitute domestic infringements.
