Lexis®Library update: The letter states the Bill could cause significant confusion and disruption for businesses, working people and environmental groups due to the sunsetting of thousands of pieces of retained EU legislation (REUL). The organisations add that ‘decades’ of case law would be impacted, the interpretation of the law would become uncertain, and the UK also risks being in breach of the Trade and Co-operation Agreement with the EU.
The Retained EU Law (Revocation and Reform) Bill can be found here.
