In June 2016, the UK voted in a referendum to leave the European Union. The consequences of Brexit are wide-ranging, but, from a legal perspective, it will entail the repeal of the European Communities Act 1972. The UK government does not intend to repeal EU law which is in existence on exit day, but, in terms of the interpretation of retained law, decisions of the Court of Justice of the European Union (CJEU) will no longer be binding after Brexit (subject to any agreed transition period). Nevertheless, section 6(2) of the European Union (Withdrawal) Act 2018 does allow the UK courts to continue to pay regard to EU law and decisions of the CJEU "so far as it is relevant to any matter before the court". This paper will consider the meaning of the phrase "may have regard to anything … so far as it is relevant". In empowering the courts to consider post-Brexit CJEU authority subject to the undefined criterion of relevancy, to what extent is this power likely to be exercised? A comparison will be drawn with the treatment of Privy Council and the UK case-law in Commonwealth courts following the abolition of the right of appeal to the Privy Council, with particular reference to the example of Australia. It will be argued that guidance may be obtained from the common law legal family which can help us determine the future relevance of CJEU case-law in the interpretation of retained EU private law.

This article describes the restraints on biological weapons, as dictated in the 1925 Geneva Protocol and the Biological Weapons Convention, and the weaknesses of these instruments. Falk clearly argues for nonpossession as a requirement of international stability. He points out that their commitment to unconditional renunciation has been disregarded by the United States and the Soviet Union. The author concludes that the failure of major powers to comply with the rules they themselves set has encouraged emulation by the rest of the world. It is the duty of those with extensive knowledge of this weaponry to eliminate the pressure for its development.

Examines Franz L. Neumann's book, Behemoth, & its ongoing relevance. Four particular aspects are considered: (1) Neumann's notion of the nonstate; (2) his findings of nonspecificity in Nazi thought & ideology; (3) the law & legal system's demise under Nazism; & (4) less obvious but no less significant, the absence of a fundamental rationality.
