Conditions of Employment: EU Law

Question

To ask the Secretary of State for Exiting the European Union, whether the Court of Justice of the European Union judgment Dekker v BJV-Centrum of 8 Nov 1990 falls within the scope of retained EU case law in Article 26(1) of the Withdrawal Agreement Bill.

Answer

Our manifesto, clearly set out the ambition to make the UK the best place in the world to work. As announced in the Queens’ Speech, we will be bringing forward separate legislation to enhance rights to make the UK the best place in the world to work.

At the end of the Implementation Period, nearly all European Union law in effect in the UK will be saved and incorporated into a new category of domestic law called ‘Retained EU Law’. This includes judgments of the Court of Justice of the European Union (CJEU) made before the end of the Implementation Period.

Therefore, each of the cases named in the Parliamentary Questions will be categorised as Retained EU Law.
