Summary/Abstract: The issue of the United Kingdom’s (hereinafter referred to as: UK) exit from the European Union (the so-called Brexit) means a turning point both in the history of the European integration and also of the United Kingdom. Moreover, Brexit results in the changes of both legal systems. As European Union (hereinafter referred to as: EU, Union) affects national legal systems of the member states via its legal acts, and the rest of the member states have continental legal systems, the withdrawal of the United Kingdom from this supranational international organization necessarily causes some changes of British law. British legal system − based on common law traditions − also took impacts on legal institutions and Union legal acts which may change after the exit of the UK. The paper highlights the UK’s general impact on EU policies, having a regard to some special fields of harmonization as well.
