The Retained EU Law (Revocation and Reform) Act 2023 serves to streamline the UK’s legal framework post-Brexit by revoking and assimilating EU laws that were retained after the UK left the EU.
The Act’s purpose is to ensure that only the necessary EU laws remain part of UK law, and it gives ministers the power to revoke or amend these laws.
The requirements set by the Act include a sunset provision that automatically revokes certain EU laws by a specified date unless action is taken to preserve them. It also outlines procedures for UK courts to follow when interpreting the retained EU laws.
The Act applies to all retained EU legislation, impacting various sectors and stakeholders, including businesses, legal practitioners, and government bodies, who must comply with the updated legal landscape. The Act also affects how courts interpret laws, removing the supremacy of EU law and allowing more flexibility in departing from previous EU case law.
The Retained EU Law (Revocation and Reform) Act 2023 outlines specific procedural requirements for the modification of retained EU law.
These requirements include the need for ministers to consider certain factors before revoking or amending retained EU law, such as the impact on businesses and consumers, and the implications for the devolved administrations.
Additionally, there is a provision for the courts to intervene in cases where there is a departure from retained EU case law.
The Act also mandates the creation of a dashboard and report system to monitor the changes and effects of the revocation and assimilation of EU law into UK law.
These evidence requirements ensure that the transition away from EU law is done with due consideration and transparency.
The Retained EU Law (Revocation and Reform) Act 2023 includes certain exemptions where retained EU law may not be revoked.
One notable exemption is under Section 8(1) of the Act, which allows for the reversal of the priority order for specific legislation, confirming that retained direct EU legislation takes precedence in those instances.
Additionally, the Act does not revoke retained EU laws contained in UK primary legislation, such as the Equality Act 2010.
These exemptions are designed to ensure that critical laws remain effective and to provide continuity where necessary.
