ABSTRACT

This introduction presents an overview of the key concepts discussed in the subsequent chapters of this book. The book explores the impact of Brexit. It describes the potential impact areas post-Brexit. The book reviews how Brexit impact can be a positive and not just a negative experience and posits a progress report on the state of ‘global law’ today. It considers the impact of Brexit on anti-suit injunctions since, as a result of a Brexit referendum in 2016, the UK is currently negotiating its existence from the EU, and this will have a significant effect on arbitration in London. The book focuses on trade in goods and relevant instruments for trade liberalisation. It describes how digitalisation impacts upon maritime trade. The book argues that the energy and investment sector is the sphere of legal significance in terms of sustainability with a focus on implementing the Sustainable Development Goals in the Energy and Investment sector.
