UKAEL Webinar on the “UK Regulatory Framework Post-Brexit: ‘Law Unbound’

Monday 18 May 2026, 5.30-7pm

The Leave Campaign pressed for Brexit on several grounds. An argument that featured prominently was the desire to take back control, signifying sovereign control over regulatory domains. The passage of six years provides a good point to assess the extent to which this has occurred, and the consequences for the UK. The webinar will feature four speakers who will address different dimensions of this issue. Jeff King will consider the institutional consequences of Brexit with a particular focus on the implications for executive power. Niamh Moloney will exemplify the impact of Brexit through consideration of financial services. Vilija Vėlyvytė will analyse the post-Brexit world from the perspective of healthcare. Paul Craig will conclude with an overview of some of the more general conclusions that can be drawn about the regulatory landscape post-Brexit.

Despite the UK’s departure from the EU, this is a critical time to discuss and reflect on EU law developments. We invite authors to submit posts on any issues related to EU law as well as European law more broadly, including the law of the ECHR. If you wish to contribute a blog post, please contact us by submitting a MS Word file of up to 1000 words, including a short indicative title, at ukaelblogs@gmail.com. We hope that the Blog will become a strong and accessible resource for EU law matters, attracting students, academics and practitioners and bringing new faces to UKAEL and its regular events. Please visit https://ukael.org/blog/ and subscribe.
