The Retained EU Law (Revocation and Reform) Act 2023 has received Royal Assent.
The Act as first published would have automatically revoked the majority of retained EU law on 31 December 2023, unless specifically preserved (the so-called “sunset”). However, in an amendment put through by the government, the general sunset for all retained EU law was replaced with a list of the specific retained EU laws it intends to revoke (see our corporate update here).
The laws to be revoked, which are set out in Schedule 1 to the Act, are relatively minor and do not affect company law and regulation. See this post on our Brexit blog for more information on the Act.
