Brexit Answers: Legal Challenges Arising From Brexit
Brexit Answers is a series of online Q&A discussions, hosted by Brexit Civil Society Alliance, to bring policy experts and civil society organisations together.
In these difficult and uncertain times, Brexit is quite rightly taking a back seat but, unless it changes, the UK is still set to leave the transition period at the end of 2020. What comes after is currently unknown as the future relationship between the EU and the UK is being negotiated. During this civil society faces uncertainty about the impacts Brexit will have on their organisations and the communities it works with.
Brexit Answers: Legal Changes Arising From Brexit.. This session of Brexit Answers is an opportunity for civil society organisations to learn more about the changing legal landscape that Brexit is bringing, and understand more about the impact of delegated legislation.
Leaving the European Union means that there will be significant changes to the UK’s constitutional, legal and rights landscape. What does implementing the changes from Brexit actually look like in practice? What changes have been made to UK laws already and what is coming down the pipeline? How can organisations prepare and respond to the various Brexit-related legislative changes?
Joining us to answer these questions and more is Alexandra Sinclair, Research Fellow at the Public Law Project. Alexandra Sinclair leads PLP’s SIFT project which scrutinises Brexit legislation to check they conform with public law standards and do not undermine fundamental rights.
Our Brexit Answers series is free and available online. This session on the legal changes will be on Tuesday 2nd June from 10.00 to 11:30. Sign up to attend this session and others with the button below. You can also submit a question to the experts when you sign up.
