Line 1: Line 1:
The Brexit transition was a period under the UK-EU withdrawal agreement in which the UK was no longer a member of the EU, but continued to be subject to EU rules and remain a member of the single market and customs union.  
A legally binding agreement between two parties.


It ran from 1 February 2020 to 31 December 2020.
Essential elements of an enforceable contract under English law include offer and acceptance, consideration, and legal capacity to contract (together with other legal requirements).




The transition period was designed to allow the UK to continue its previous relationship with the EU while future security cooperation and trading relationships were negotiated.  
The fundamentals of contract law are similar throughout the countries of Europe, the US and many other jurisdictions.  


The UK government did not use the term transition: instead it refered to this period as an “implementation period”.
However, each jurisdiction has its own individual contract law and, although these may be similar in many respects, they can also be significantly different in essential elements, for example in relation to the requirement for [[consideration]].  
 
 
On 24 December 2020 the UK and European Commission agreed the terms of a post-Brexit free trade agreement agreement that came into provisional application - subject to parliamentary ratification by the UK and the EU - from 1 January 2021.

A legally binding agreement between two parties.

Essential elements of an enforceable contract under English law include offer and acceptance, consideration, and legal capacity to contract (together with other legal requirements).


The fundamentals of contract law are similar throughout the countries of Europe, the US and many other jurisdictions.

However, each jurisdiction has its own individual contract law and, although these may be similar in many respects, they can also be significantly different in essential elements, for example in relation to the requirement for consideration.
