Post-Brexit Regulatory Models and Delegated Powers in the UK
Date: Wednesday, 12 March 2025
Time: 17.30 – 19.00 (Registration from 17.00)
Followed by a reception

Event Details
The objective of this event is to explore the broad question of post-Brexit regulatory models in the UK, and the extent to which these rely on granting powers to Ministers to make delegated legislation. We will be looking at two particularly important Bills currently being debated by Parliament, the Product Regulation and Metrology Bill and the Data (Use and Access) Bill. These Bills will be taken as examples of broader regulatory patterns in respect of the UK's relationship with EU law and the ongoing convergence vs divergence debate.
This seminar will bring together distinguished speakers and will be of interest to academics, legal practitioners and policy-makers.
Event convened by Professor Duncan Fairgrieve, Director, Product Liability Forum, BIICL; Dr Jan van Zyl Smit, Director, Bingham Centre for the Rule of Law; and Dr Oliver Garner, Maurice Wohl Research Leader in European Rule of Law, Bingham Centre for the Rule of Law.
