Retained EU law is a new and unique concept in UK law. Designed to ensure continuity and legal certainty, it is the snapshot of the EU law applicable in the UK at 31 December 2020 that has been made part of domestic UK law and amended to make it work in a purely domestic context. It will evolve as a unique and enormous body of law with its own peculiarities. It will affect many areas of legal practice. Conceptually straightforward, given the subject and the British legislative style, the reality is complicated. The magnificent cavalry charge of amending statutory instruments complicates it further.
It is an important new legal topic. This timely book by two experts is most welcome. Eleonor Duhs and Indira Rao were the lead lawyers at the Department for Exiting the EU on the European Union (Withdrawal)
