And how do you specify and oversee 12,000 NEW regulations?
If any untoward changes are indeed made, that is the time whinge and complain.
If Scotland had voted yes to independence, how would the Scots have dealt with the SAME situation. If anything their situation would have been worse as UK laws would also have to be transferred.

an article about the split up of Czechoslovakia and it's relevance to Brexit.

		| EU law after Brexit From a legal point of view, one of the biggest challenges of Brexit  is to ensure legal continuity in the legal system, which has  incorporated many EU laws and regulations over the years.
 Considering the timing of Brexit and to avoid legal loopholes, a  “copy & paste approach” should be considered with respect to EU  legislation effective in Britain. This is viewed as the standard  approach in international law and was also used in the process of  dissolving Czechoslovakia. In general, all pre-independence laws that  were not in breach of the new constitution of each newly established  country became part of its legal system. Some of the federal laws,  albeit in amended versions, remain in effect even today, almost 25 years  after the split.
