The Prime Minister has been clear that we will bring about the end of the direct jurisdiction of the CJEU in the UK. After withdrawal, the UK will take back control of its laws. The Repeal Bill will end the supremacy of EU law. Our domestic law will once again be supreme. After we leave the EU, Parliament or, where appropriate, the devolved legislatures, will be free to change the law where they decide it is right to do so.
