UK - European Union - Brexit.
(EUWA 2018).
The UK's European Union (Withdrawal) Act 2018 was designed to implement the legal changes to implement Brexit in UK law with effect from 31 January 2020, at a time when it was envisaged that 31 January 2020 would be the date when all of the important changes would take effect.
Subsequently, a transition period to end on the later date of 31 December 2020 was agreed on.
Accordingly, the European Union (Withdrawal) Act 2018 was substantially amended by the European Union (Withdrawal Agreement) Act 2020, in order to give effect to the transition period.
