Bank Recovery and Resolution (Amendment) (EU Exit) Regulations 2020

The Bank Recovery and Resolution (Amendment) (EU Exit) Regulations 2020 (SI 2020/1350)^[1] have been published, together with an explanatory memorandum^[2]. The Regulations transpose aspects of the amending Bank Recovery and Resolution Directive (BRRD) (BRRD II), which make amendments to the EU bank resolution framework set out in the BRRD. They also correct deficiencies arising in retained EU law relating to bank resolution to ensure the UK maintains a fully functioning regulatory and legal framework following the end of the transition period.
