In this Special Report, we explain some of the key legal implications associated with the United Kingdom leaving the European Union without a deal for future relations being agreed between themselves.
In the event of no agreement being reached, the United Kingdom and European Union will trade on the basis of World Trade Organisation (WTO) rules. Any reference to "no deal" in this report should be understood as being a reference to trading on WTO rules in place of a formal deal between the European Union and the United Kingdom.
This report aims to provide a degree of reassurance amidst the prevailing uncertainty that the prospect of a "no deal" Brexit brings. The topics covered include:
- Banking and financial services
- Tax
- Contracts and enforceability of judgements
- Employment law
- Data protection
- Health care regulation
