The (not so) great repeal bill, part 1: only uncertainty is certain

The Great Repeal Bill is intended to convert all existing EU law into UK law. The aim is to provide legal certainty after Brexit Day and to enable the government to repeal aspects of EU law afterwards. But, writes Joelle Grogan in the first of a two-part series on the Bill, the proposed Brexit Day division will still create a great deal of legal ambiguity. It is also questionable whether the UK can play a ‘leading’ role in human rights after removing the European Charter of Fundamental Rights.
