'Landmark' move will stop EU law applying after Brexit
But to be legally enforced it needed signing off by a minister in what is called a"commencement order".
Mr Barclay said doing so"ensures" EU law will cease to take precedence over British law and apply here after the Brexit date in less than 80 days.The decision was passed by MPs last year - but needed government sign-off But Mark Elliott, a professor of public law and chair of the faculty of law at the University of Cambridge, said the announcement was"at best, misleading"."If parliament forces the government to seek, and the EU grants, an Article 50 extension, the definition of 'exit day' can be altered & ECA repeal deferred accordingly," said Prof Elliott.Labour MP Stephen Doughty, who is campaigning for a referendum on the terms of Brexit, also dismissed its significance.
