Fundamental Rights And Freedoms

In the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland fundamental rights and freedoms are protected by the Human Rights Act 1998. Some of them were limited during a state of emergency declared on the basis of Civil Contingencies Act 2004 and, particularly relevant for the current COVID-19 crisis, Public Health (Control of Disease) Act 1984. The review of legal documents and literature indicates that the lockdown regulations – mainly Health Protection (Coronavirus Restrictions) (England) Regulations 2020 – adversely affected the everyday life of British citizens. This article discusses if those restrictions could have potentially interfered with some of the fundamental rights.

In this paper the author analyses the new relationship between the European Union and the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland. Given the scope and complexity of the Trade and Cooperation Agreement, the intention was not to explain in detail all its aspects, but only the basic and most important provisions. First of all, those of the free trade agreement, but also in the areas where ties are being renewed, which would otherwise be interrupted by the withdrawal of the United Kingdom. Although it does not reflect the benefits of EU membership, the agreement certainly limits the negative consequences compared to the situation without it and provides much needed predictability and certainty, allowing Europe to leave Brexit behind and move on.
