Amcanion cyffredinol
The primary aim of this module is to enable students to state and apply EU law as it continues to be relevant to the legal system of England and Wales post-Brexit. Upon completing this module, students will understand and appraise the history of the UK's EU membership, the process of withdrawal, the legacy of EU law on the legal system of England and Wales as retained EU law, and the ongoing relationship between the EU and the UK, now that the latter is no longer an EU Member State.
Cynnwys cwrs
The module allows students to study different areas of EU Law and its continuing relevance to the legal system of England and Wales in the form of retained EU law and the constitutional implications of the UK's entry into and withdrawal from the EU.
An indicative list of areas covered by the module includes;
- The history of the UK's membership of the EU and its impact on the UK constitution;
- The key institutions and processes within the EU;
- The process of the UK's withdrawal from the EU;
- The concept, scope and content of retained EU law, as derived from EU law, including the internal market and competition law;
