Ensuring a Level-Playing Field under the EU-UK TCA: Rules, Regulations and Referees Webinar with Professor Andrea Biondi
The EU-UK Trade and Cooperation Agreement (TCA) is the agreement that governs the relationship between the EU and the UK now that the UK has officially left the Union. It was reached in the final moments before the 'No Deal' deadline, after months of intense Brexit negotiations. Its full impact and particularly its hidden issues will likely reveal themselves progressively in the coming years - both in a legal and a commercial context.
Scotland, Brexit and the Potential Scottish Independence
with Mr Darren Harvey, Lecturer at KCL
The question of the potential independence of Scotland is a key contemporary political issue within the United Kingdom.
The topic is significant for law students as it relates to the controversial topic of devolution in the UK Parliament, i.e. the primacy of the Parliament in Westminster and the granted competencies of the devolved Parliaments.
Brexit and the British Constitution Webinar
