Practice notesbrexit impact
On 31 January 2020 ('exit day'), the UK ceased to be an EU Member State and entered an implementation period during which it continued to be treated by the EU as a Member State for many purposes. At 11 pm (GMT) on 31 December 2020 the Brexit transition/implementation period ended. At that moment (referred to in UK law as ‘IP completion day’), key transitional arrangements came to an end and significant changes took effect across the UK’s legal regime. 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
