Should laws have expiration dates?
Law Society of England and Wales disagrees and says:
On 10 May 2023, the government scrapped the proposed sunset clause, which would have automatically revoked most retained EU law at the end of 2023. […] We’ve welcomed this news. Since 2022, we’ve been advocating for the government to remove the sunset clause deadline of 31 December 2023 and publish a list of all affected legislation. While we welcome the removal of the sunset clause, we still have wider concerns about the act, notably on parliamentary scrutiny of future legislative changes. […] In areas such as employment law, workers could lose access to long-established rights that now form an integral part of Britain’s reputation as a fair society, such as holiday pay or protection against fire and rehire.
