Whether you were on the side of leave or remain during the Brexit referendum, both sides would most likely agree that media reporting on the main issues was, at best, sensationalised and, at worst, wrong.

Now that Brexit is happening and progress is (slowly) being made it is important that the media learns the lessons of the referendum and does not fall into the same traps as the political and legal landscape of the UK changes.

That is why it was so disappointing to see the following tweet from Adam Wagner who highlighted what appears to be a revolutionary and undemocratic consequence of the Great Repeal Bill:

Not only is the headline greatly misleading but the article itself is quite simply incorrect in its assertions.

As Lord Falconer later pointed out the reference is to legal actions under the authority of Francovich v Italy (1991) whereby a government can be held to account under EU law for its failure to implement a directive.

Given that when we leave the EU the government will no longer be under such an obligation, it is unsurprising that the so-called Brexit Bill clears this fact up in an explicit manner.

To put it another way there is quite simply no story here and the article is a form of scare-mongering that at a cursory glance appears to suggest to the reader that judicial review (a key aspect of the rule of law) is itself under threat.

Brexit will undeniably throw up a range of complex changes to the law that will have to be examined closely but here The Times has shown that it is already struggling with the relatively simple stuff.
