TE LEGAL UPDATE

摘要

The UK's vote to leave the European Union gives the prime minister a mandate to serve 'notice to leave'. At a time of her choosing Theresa May will invoke Article 50, which triggers the two-year exit period and associated negotiations. So it will be at least 2018 before anything changes substantially. While leaving the EU does involve setting aside all EU regulations, many have already been incorporated into UK law, or were derived from regulatory structures that predate the UK's membership. Such legislation will not be set aside once the exit period is concluded. Moreover, negotiations may involve the UK agreeing to continue some EU transport and employment legislation that would otherwise be lost.
