answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 26/02/2019 answer text <p>The EU Withdrawal Act 2018 established that if the UK leaves the EU without a deal UK courts and tribunals will no longer be able to refer cases to the Court of Justice of the European Union (CJEU) on or after exit day. Decisions of the CJEU made on or after exit day will not be binding on UK courts and tribunals, but judges may take these judgments into account if it is relevant to the matter before them. This principle will apply to claims brought in the UK under the Transfer of Undertakings (Protection of Employment) Regulations 2006 (TUPE).</p><p> </p><p>As is the case before exit, an employment claim against an employer in another EU Member State (i.e. not the UK) may be brought in that country under its relevant national legislation. This will depend on the facts and circumstances of a particular case.</p><p> </p><p> </p> answering member constituency Rochester and Strood answering member printed Kelly Tolhurst question first answered 26/02/2019 14:54:19 answering member 4487 label Biography information for Kelly Tolhurst
