Brexit

Question 1

why eu law still matters

Answer 1

• s2 withdrawal act 2018: continues to have affect in domestic law after exit
• s3: direct+eu law so far as operative immediately before exit day, forms part of law after exit

Question 2

withdrawal act

Answer 2

• Entirety of eu law converted into uk law
• uk has dualist system: international law needs to be converted into domestic legislation for it to have affect in uk courts
• the act allows parliament to decide which aspects of eu law they want to keep, amend and reappeal
• We still have eu law that P haven’t repealed so most eu law still binding
