The Restrictive Practices Court was a senior court of record in the United Kingdom. It was created in 1956 to foster competition through enforcement of the Restrictive Trade Practices Act 1956.[1] Though the Court was overhauled in 1976,[2] by the end of the century, the legislation was perceived as increasingly out of line with Articles 81 and 82 of the Treaty of Rome. The Court was gradually replaced by a new judicial regime under the Competition Act 1998 and Enterprise Act 2002[3] and was ultimately disestablished on 10 March 2013.[4]
