Vietnam: Competition Law Fact Sheet
Overview of the main provisions of the Competition Law, and discussion of the enforcement regime and recent enforcement trends.
United Kingdom | Publication | August 2022
The FCA has been clear that implementing the new Consumer Duty will require a cultural shift at many firms. This new package of rules and guidance raises the bar both for firms and individuals in connection with the provision of financial services and products to retail customers. In its policy statement, the FCA has maintained its approach to the calibration of the new Duty in many areas, with a small number of significant changes in approach.
The implementation timetable is one such change. Whilst the FCA has extended the timetable, there are two new key milestones. By 31 October 2022, a firm’s board or equivalent management body must have approved its implementation plan for the new Consumer Duty. This will be challenging for many firms to meet, particularly those which are larger in scale, with more complex organisational structures or more expansive ranges of in-scope products and services.
Our briefing note: ‘The new Consumer Duty: implementation milestones and what they mean for your firm’ has more information.
We have assembled a Toolkit to assist firms to meet the FCA’s expectations around the approval of an implementation plan by 31 October.

The European Court of Human Rights (ECtHR or the Court) recently ruled in Verein KlimaSeniorinnen Schweiz & Ors v. Switzerland (Application No. 53600/20) that Switzerland had breached the European Convention of Human Rights (the Convention) by not taking sufficient action against climate change. In particular, it found a breach of the right to respect for private and family life contained in Article 8 of the Convention, based on Switzerland’s failure to mitigate the impact of climate change on the lives, health, well-being and quality of life of its citizens. It also ruled that Switzerland had breached the right to a fair trial in terms of Article 6, in that the domestic courts failed to examine the merits of the applicants’ complaints, including the scientific evidence. In this article we consider the key features of this landmark judgment, which has wide ramifications for Member States of the Convention.
