The webinar recording can be viewed on the CA’s YouTube channel.
A PDF of the PowerPoint slides of the presentations are also available to view on the CA’s public website pages.
CA president, Julian Dussek, says: “At a time when the Brexit arrangements are still unknown, it was a delight to watch the RATS Brexit webinar. The complexities and implications of our leaving the EU were explained with great clarity.
“I am extremely grateful for the enormous amount of work that RATS has been doing for the CA, both in compiling the Brexit pages on the website and for putting together the webinar. I am now much more knowledgeable about what I will have to do next year, and what not to do.”
