This Great Repeal Act would have to state that everything introduced due to EU law up to a certain date is to continue, so that it all continues to have the necessary legal basis in the absence of the European Communities Act. The repeal act would replace the EC act as the "enabling" act to allow them to continue.

At least I think that's how it works.
Fair enough. Seems like the logical way to do it.

In other news Article 50 to be invoked by March of next year. Curbing free movement to take priority over single market access.
