The Retained EU Law (Revocation and Reform) Bill is so enormous in scope that it is difficult to gauge the full extent of its implications. 

Writing in this week’s NLJ, however, Arnold & Porter partner Dr Beatriz San Martin, counsel Libby Amos-Stone and trainee solicitor Lewis Pope, assess the various aspects of the Bill in turn, highlighting the main parts of the Bill.

Their article is timely—it could be in law as soon as April 2023. They look at its impact on the role of the courts and the likelihood of increased costs and uncertainty for court users, and how the Bill ‘allows for the reorganisation of hierarchies’.

With tight deadlines imposed by the sunsetting clause, it is going to be a marathon run at a sprinter’s pace if the work of reviewing all the legislation affected is to be done. San Martin, Amos-Stone and Pope warn the consequence of such rushed reform will be ‘unanticipated and unintended consequences’.
