The Government has since announced that rather than revoking all EU-derived legislation, it will instead focus on a targeted list of 600 pieces of legislation which are expected to be revoked in accordance with the Retained EU Law Bill.
The default position is that all other legislation not on the targeted list will be retained as UK Law.
Crucially, the EU Commercial Agents Directive (Council Directive 86/653/EEC), from which the Regulations are derived, is not on the Government’s targeted list.
Therefore it appears the Regulations will be retained as UK law, providing much-needed comfort to commercial agents that the current rights and protections afforded by the Regulations will continue to apply.
