In a new article, Jon Kiddie of Terra Firma Chambers looks at the Coronavirus Act 2020 and the wealth of attendant regulations and statutory instruments and their effect on the legal landscape.
“Enacted on 25 March, and largely effective with immediate force, the Coronavirus Act 2020 was the UK government’s initial legislative response to COVID-19. In accordance with the seismic nature of prevailing circumstances, it is a highly unusual piece of emergency legislation. If law were a house, and COVID-19 an impending earthquake, then this act is an attempt to shore up its foundations and to rearrange its fixtures and fittings in order to withstand the inevitable shockwave.”
