Paragraph 4 Substantiation of claims

Where the CMA requires the respondent to provide evidence under section 195 of the Act as to the accuracy of any factual claim made as part of a commercial practice by the respondent, it must set out the time period within which the respondent must provide such evidence.

Where the respondent fails to provide evidence within the time period mentioned in paragraph (1), the CMA may determine that a factual claim of the respondent is inaccurate in accordance with section 195(3)(a) of the Act.
