That's hugely misleading. It's one of those things that sounds reasonable if you're not a lawyer, but a lawyer will have questions:

1) Will cases be decided according to the same principles as currently? (No, the bill specifically strikes out specific principles, including the animal rights one.) 2) What will the status of existing EU case law be? (Unclear.) 3) What will the status of post-exit EU case law be? (Unclear.)

In other words, it'll be similar, but different enough that it's going to cause problems.
