Your website is perfectly OK and it is showing on top position for your selected keyword. Therefore you dont need to worry about this aspect.
Search engines go into snake shedding phases where they filter their previous database, applies some new changes, calculates their new back links etc etc.
It could be possible that your competitor tried to play this duplicate trick to pull down your rankings temporarily, but in the current scenrio it looks like Google has been able to detect the other duplicate website.
If other website indeed used this duplicate trick, then they wont show up again on Google.co.uk, unless and until they produce their unique content.
Search engines cannot grant trust rank to a new website which simply copies content from other existing websites.
