CMA wins legal challenge in emergency services case

Summary:

The Competition Appeal Tribunal (CAT) has dismissed Motorola's appeal against the Competition and Markets Authority's (CMA) decision to impose a price cap on the Airwave Network, used by the UK's emergency services. The CMA's investigation found that Motorola held a monopoly on the network, which allowed it to overcharge the Home Office and ultimately the taxpayers. The price cap, implemented in July 2023, aims to reduce the overcharging by almost u00a3200 million per year, ensuring a fair price for the emergency services.
