Competing Interests at the CAT: Balancing Technology and Complexity

We’re delighted to host an online webinar with the SCL (Society for Computers and Law) on the evolving challenges at the CAT (Competition Appeal Tribunal), balancing complexity with new technology.

Date:  26th April, 10am. Online Webinar

With the exponential increase in digital data, the need to use technology at a much earlier earlier stage of proceedings is ever more evident. Technology now plays a crucial role in efficiently identifying, categorising, and safeguarding sensitive information in competition law – for example, within the framework of confidentiality rings.

Looking at this through the lens of PD 1/2024*, our panel will explore how technology – which is both the problem and the solution – could be used effectively to manage the increasing complexity of data. Our experts will also look at how collaboration, between all parties, including legal tech suppliers, could offer a real opportunity to navigate these challenges proactively.

*Practice Direction 1/2024 addresses the establishment of confidentiality rings, a mechanism allowing restricted distribution of documents containing sensitive information.
