There are times when semantics are important. There are no such things as EASA licences, ratings or medicals. They are national things in accordance with EASA regulations so they are recognised by each EU member state without further ado. They are all UK things and governed by UK law. The UK courts have jurisdiction and always have.

The main problem is the LAPL: it is a sub-ICAO licence with the privilege for flight within the EU states. It is otherwise identical in most things to the UK NPPL but with the ability to add a night rating. The UK LAPL being sub-ICAO means it will not have the automatic right for overflight into Europe unless the EASA member states continue to allow it. The LAPL also has its own unique medical which has no other purpose.
