Dispute resolution and enforcement after Brexit Contents
Appendix 3: Call for evidence
The Committee issued a formal call for evidence on 6 December 2017. It asked for submissions to address the following issues:
- Whether there could be a role for the CJEU in the UK post-Brexit.
- The most appropriate method of enforcement and dispute resolution in respect of the Withdrawal Agreement and subsequent partnership arrangements with the EU.
- How the Government can deal with questions relating to EU law in the domestic courts post-Brexit and during any period of transition (including the potential for divergence between UK law and EU law).
- Whether anything can be learned from the EFTA Court model, or other alternative models for dispute resolution.
- The impact Brexit will have on the UK’s ability to influence the development of the law in other jurisdictions including the EU and the United States.
- If UK citizens should have a direct right of access to any new enforcement or dispute resolution procedures (or whether there should be a reference procedure, as currently exists with the CJEU).
- The potential impact of excluding the jurisdiction of the CJEU, both on UK domestic law and on securing a workable Withdrawal Agreement and any transitional arrangements under Article 50.
