The Mutual Recognition of Protection Measures in Civil Matters (Amendment) (EU Exit) Regulations 2019

Draft Affirmative
Laid on: 12 December 2018

The Mutual Recognition of Protection Measures in Civil Matters (Amendment) (EU Exit) Regulations 2019 are being made using powers in the European Union (Withdrawal) Act 2018 (“EU Withdrawal) Act”) in order to address failures in retained EU law to operate effectively and other deficiencies arising from the withdrawal of the United Kingdom from the European Union.

The Mutual Recognition of Protection Measures in Civil Matters (Amendment) (EU  Exit) Regulations 2019 amend Regulation (EU) 606/20 13 of the European Parliament  and of the Council of 12 June 2013 on mutual recognition of protection measures in  civil matters (the “CPM Regulation”) as retained under the EU (Withdrawal) Act and  associated domestic legislation to ensure that, post EU Exit, protection measures  made in EU Member States will continue to be recognised and may be enforced in England & Wales and Northern Ireland.  

This instrument applies to private international law which is a transferred matter for Northern Ireland under section 4(1) of the Northern Ireland Act 1998.
