How to use this Guide

Following our commentary and analysis this part of the Spring Horizon Tracker 2023 provides a concise and current guide to legislative and regulatory developments. This is done by relevant practice and subject areas.

Each section is divided into parts describing legislation passed since the Horizon Tracker of Autumn 2022, Bills which have been prepared and are going through the legislative process, Acts awaiting commencement, national consultations, regulatory initiatives and on to EU legislation. The table here describes these parts.

If you have any further questions, please contact your usual Matheson advisor any member of the Knowledge Management Team who will assist you with your query.
