This section has no associated Explanatory Notes

(1)The purpose of this Act is to make provision in connection with the withdrawal of the United Kingdom from the EU in consequence of the notification given under section 1 of the European Union (Notification of Withdrawal) Act 2017 (“UK withdrawal”).

(2)In so far as any provision of this Act, or any provision made under it, would, if it were in effect before the relevant time, be incompatible with EU law, the provision is to have no effect until the relevant time.

(3)In subsection (2), “the relevant time”, in relation to any provision of this Act or any provision made under it, means the time at which the provision of EU law with which it would be incompatible ceases to have effect in Scots law as a consequence of UK withdrawal.

(4)For the purposes of this section, “EU law” has the same meaning as in the Scotland Act 1998 (see section 126(9) of that Act).
