The Private International Law (Implementation of Agreements) Act 2020 (Extension of Operative Period) Regulations 2025
Regulations under section 2(1) to (3) of the Private International Law (Implementation of Agreements) Act 2020 (c. 24) (“the Act”) may only be made during “the operative period”. Section 2(5) provides that the operative period is the period of five years beginning with the day on which the Act was passed. The Act received Royal Assent on 14th December 2020. The operative period therefore expires at the end of 13th December 2025. However, section 2(6) of the Act enables the appropriate national authority, by regulations made under that subsection, to extend the operative period by a period of five years.
