How to use this Guide

Each section in this Guide, reflecting either our practice areas or emerging thematic subject areas of importance, begins with commentary and analysis which provides context to the legislative and regulatory updates. The commentary includes links to additional Matheson Insights or webinars where relevant, and to important external documents such as government consultation papers. The commentary and analysis is followed by a concise and current guide to legislative and regulatory developments.

Each legislative and regulatory section is divided into parts describing legislation passed since the Horizon Tracker of Spring 2023, Bills which have been prepared and are going through the legislative process, Acts awaiting commencement, national consultations, regulatory initiatives and any relevant EU legislation of any type, whether in draft, under consultation, or awaiting transposition. The table here describes these parts.

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