Following the electorate’s will expressed in the June 23, 2016 referendum, the European Union (Notification of Withdrawal) Act of 2017 was passed, and authorized ministers to notify under Article 50 TEU. This notification was given on March 29, 2017. The withdrawal of the United Kingdom from the European Union will result in significant changes in the system of the sources of law applied in the domestic legal order. Simply repealing European Communities Act of 1972 would leave large holes in the legal system making it incomplete. In order to avoid it the European Union (Withdrawal) Bill, known as the Great Repeal Bill, is proposed. The main purpose of this framework legislation is to convert directly-applicable EU laws into UK laws and to provide a power to use delegated legislation, when necessary, to rectify problems occurring as a consequence of the withdrawal.
