This article focuses on the impact of Brexit on various elements of the UK Antitrust law and their practical implications for enforcement of the competition rules assuming the UK to be outside the EEA and the single market. The article looks at the main aspects of Antitrust Law that could change after the departure of the UK from the European Union, such as the public and private enforcement and the leniency programme, through two main themes: the legislative continuity of UK competition law and the transition to the post-Brexit environment. In particular, the article focuses on the observance of the principle of legal certainty for business, in order to avoid any radical change in the short term that may jeopardize the UK market. Accordingly, some proposals in relation to each of these matters are presented.
