If the UK leaves the EU what’s the impact likely to be on commercial contracts and on disputes?
英国退出欧盟,会对商事合同及争议产生哪些影响?
It is unclear at the moment what the UK’s arrangements would be in the event that there is an exit from the EU, but it might be helpful to start with something that won’t change. One area that won’t change is English contractual law, so there will be no impact on the general law that affects commercial contracts in terms of interpretation, breach, frustration, and implied terms and so on. None of that will be affected by an exit from Europe. There will be discreet areas such as commercial agents where that won’t be the case, but by and large none of that will change.

here’s been a lot of talk about pros and cons of Brexit, but very few hard facts. In fact, there are hardly any economic predictions about the potential pros and cons of Brexit and even when you look at some of the wider reports, they are talking about potential GDP impacts by 2030, ranging from somewhere between minus 0.8 per cent and plus 0.6 per cent — so pretty small differences in both directions.
