Rewards for information about cartels

CMA guidance 'Rewards for information about cartels' (first published 31 Mar 2014, current version states the £250,000 cap): why rewards are offered, what a cartel is, hotline, confidentiality, process (no-names first contact, identity then required), discretionary rewards set by value of information, harm stopped, effort and risk; paid only at the end of an investigation, expenses reimbursed; leniency applicants normally not rewarded; complainant businesses unlikely to get rewards. Cartel sanctions (10% of turnover, 5 years' prison, 15 years' disqualification) are not about the programme. No statistics. The £250,000 cap is already recorded from the 2023 news release (not duplicated); the discretionary rule was already recorded; this pass adds the anonymous-filing rule. Rules restated from other sources are now recorded from this document too (decision 8).
