Abstract

This chapter proposes to critically discuss the legal consequences of Brexit for the future of legal reforms of the laws governing cross border commercial transactions for both the United Kingdom (UK) and the European Union (EU). It investigates the extent to which Brexit may impact the key dynamics of European economic integration and the extent to which it may affect future commercial law reforms in the EU and the UK. This chapter contends that while Brexit may reduce opportunities for legal innovation by weakening legal competitiveness and approximation of laws within Europe, it may also create an impetus for law reform both in the UK now freed from the EU and, within the EU through a facilitated approximation of laws. Whilst it is not the aim of this analysis to predict the evolution of both the UK and the EU regulatory frameworks for commerce, it envisages different scenarios through the lenses of economical, legal, and geopolitical factors as well as the regional and global international regulatory contexts. The chapter concludes with a general discussion of the extent to which Brexit fundamentally challenged the transnationalisation of commercial laws which may spark a significant turning point for its future trajectory.
