RHS says

Copper oxychloride (Bayer Garden Fruit and Vegetable Disease Control) is being withdrawn and cannot be sold after the 30th November 2014 and remaining stocks must be used or disposed of before the 30th November 2015.

So illegal to sell or use them.......

Interestingly, that is at odds with the HSE pesticides database, which states for this product:

WITHDRAWAL OF PLANT PROTECTION PRODUCT(S)
IN THE UNITED KINGDOM

PLANT PROTECTION PRODUCTS REGULATION (EC) No 1107/2009

Monthly Withdrawal Notice

Date of Issue:   10 August 2015

This authorisation ends:   
(a)   31 January 2016 for sale and distribution
(b)   31 January 2017 for the disposal, storage and use of existing stocks

The expiry dates of the authorisations for the plant protection products listed in the Withdrawal Table have been amended to the above dates.

ALL OTHER CONDITIONS OF AUTHORISATION REMAIN UNCHANGED


So it appears as though it was legal for sale until the end of January.

Like many 'banned' chemicals it's still freely available but not sold for the 'intended use'

Do you know what legislation can ban the private use of these products?

The licensing regulations relate both to sale and use.  Once the licence has expired, it is illegal to use the products.
