Abstract
Titles in the Complete series combine extracts from a wide range of primary materials with clear explanatory text to provide readers with a complete introductory resource. This chapter discusses Brexit, and in particular the EU–UK Withdrawal Agreement, the Political Declaration setting out the framework for the future relationship between the EU and the UK, the EU–UK Trade and Cooperation Agreement, and the UK’s own domestic legislation corresponding to these, the EU Withdrawal Act 2018 and the Future Relationship Act 2020. These instruments set out the basis for the future legal and trade relationship between the UK and the EU now that the UK is no longer an EU Member State.
