Re: Once we leave the EU, this silly nonsense can be binned!
I'm sure general human rights, cosumer protection, and general data protection will be head of the queue.
The European Convention on Human Rights was drafted in 1950 by the Council of Europe, of which the UK is a leading member (it is not an EU body). That was 23 years before the UK joined the EEC, 42 years before it joined the EU.
The first UK Sale of Goods act was passed in 1893, 99 years before the UK joined the EU. It's been updated many times, and exceeds EU minima in many areas, notably digital services.
The first UK Data Protection Act was passed in 1984, 11 years before the EU DP directive.
The UK does not follow the EU unwillingly in these areas, it leads, and there's little reason to feel it would do otherwise in the future.
