A European Union title of Halsbury’s Laws of England, updated and revised to take account of the UK's withdrawal from the EU, has been published by LexisNexis

The much-anticipated title has been curated and produced by consultants Paul Lasok KC, Doyin Lawunmi (Référendaire at the Court of Justice of the European Union) and Laura Bolado. It includes a section on the UK’s relationship with the EU, which takes an objective look at the consequences of Brexit and summarises key international agreements including the Withdrawal Agreement and the Northern Ireland Protocol, the EU-UK Trade and Cooperation Agreement, the Security of Classified Information Agreement and Nuclear Cooperation Agreement) as well as all the latest domestic legislation.

The rest of the title explores the continuing relevance to the UK of the EU’s institutions and policies and explains the role and principles of EU law. It outlines the concept of ‘retained EU law’ and the complex rules surrounding its interpretation.
