Abstract
This chapter discusses the scope of this legacy and UK provision for its retention as well as for its alteration in the future. The legal framework for environmental law and policy in the UK has been materially, structurally altered since the Brexit Referendum. From being an EU Member State, and so co-maker of and subject to EU environmental law, policy, the UK is now a ‘third country', albeit in a quite particular position compared to other third countries. Post-Brexit, one of three legal regimes is potentially applicable to any given legal scenario depending on the subject matter and/or processes involved, timing. Provision is made under the 2018 Act for giving ongoing effect to pre-EU Exit Date EU environmental law in the UK post-EU Exit Date, so provide for continuity of the prior legal situation. However, EU environmental law is granted any special status in the UK post-EU Exit Date is dealt with in the manner as other EU law generally.
