Health and Safety Law 2024

Although the previous government withdrew its “sunset” clause in the Bill that could have resulted in “a bonfire of regulation” (see above), the Retained EU Law (Revocation and Reform) Act 2023 (REUL Act) has made significant changes to the body of law previously known as “retained law” and renamed “assimilated law” by the Act. It ended the special status of retained EU law within the UK legal system and gave ministers powers to revoke, amend or replace retained EU more easily.
