Brexit impact
11 pm (GMT) on 31 December 2020 marked the end of the Brexit transition/Implementation period entered into following the UK’s withdrawal from the EU. At this point in time (referred to in UK law as ‘IP completion day’), key transitional arrangements came to an end and significant changes began to take effect across the UK’s legal regime. Any changes relevant to this content will be set out below.
Upon IP completion day, the European Union (Withdrawal) Act 2018 (EU(W)A 2018) created a new category of domestic UK law—retained EU Law (REUL)—made up of EU-derived rights and legislation that were preserved in the UK following Brexit. On 29 June 2023, the Retained EU Law (Revocation and Reform) Act 2023 (REUL(RR)A 2023) gained Royal Assent. REUL(RR)A 2023 reforms the treatment of REUL by:
- •
revoking substantial amounts of REUL from 31 December 2023
- •
re-labelling REUL as ‘assimilated law’ from 1 January 2024
- •
creating new powers in relation to assimilated law
The re-categorisation of REUL

What does LNG mean?
Liquefied natural gas (LNG) can be defined as meaning any combustible hydrocarbon or mixture of hydrocarbons consisting primarily of methane and including other combustible and non-combustible gases in a gaseous state which are in a liquid state at or near atmospheric pressure at sea level. LNG is a form of processed natural gas; through the process of liquefaction it is transformed into a liquid which enables it to be transported to its destination where the liquid is regasified for sale.
