Grogan, Joelle

Legislation that is, and is not: the deeply problematic Repeal Bill.

Abstract
The (no longer ‘Great’) Repeal Bill has been published, and is likely to encounter considerable opposition in both Parliament and the devolved assemblies. Joelle Grogan says that the Bill marks a move away from individual rights and remedies and offers nothing to allay concerns about ministers’ ability to amend laws without parliamentary scrutiny (Henry VIII clauses). It will be up to them to decide what ‘deficiencies’ in EU law need a remedy. The sheer volume of statutory instruments will demand a lot of vigilance from MPs and peers.
