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.
UKAEL Seminar on Miller I, Ten Years on: Resetting the Broken Conduit Pipe?
Tuesday 9 June 2026, 6pm, Matrix Chambers, Griffin Building, Gray’s Inn, London WC1R 5LN
As the 10th Anniversary of the EU Referendum approaches, and the Government contemplates another ‘reset’ of UK/EU relations, counsel from each of the UK jurisdictions, all involved in the historic Miller I litigation, will reassemble to discuss the extent to which EU law and jurisprudence has continued to be a source of UK law, ten years later and over five years after UK withdrawal, and how any legal ‘reset’ might operate in the UK courts. Conan Fegan from Northern Ireland, Helen Mountfield KCfrom England and Wales, and Aidan O’Neill KC from Scotland will join Rhodri Thompson KC to address these issues, followed by questions and refreshments. The seminar is generously hosted by Matrix Chambers and is an excellent opportunity for UKAEL members to meet face to face at Matrix.
