Abstract
Following prolonged political controversy, the provisions from the initial Retained EU Law (Revocation and Reform) Bill which abolish general principles of EU law, as well as its supremacy, have been enacted. This article investigates whether this is likely to affect the principle of EU-law conforming construction, and contemplates three scenarios how EU-derived UK law might be interpreted in the future.
期刊介绍:
The principal objectives of the Review are to provide a vehicle for the consideration of the legislative process, the use of legislation as an instrument of public policy and of the drafting and interpretation of legislation. The Review, which was first established in 1980, is the only journal of its kind within the Commonwealth. It is of particular value to lawyers in both private practice and in public service, and to academics, both lawyers and political scientists, who write and teach within the field of legislation.
