Dispute settlement and the ECJ in the draft withdrawal agreement

One of the most contentious issues in EU/UK relations after Brexit was going to be the extent to which there was still some residual connection between the United Kongdom and the EU’s Court of Justice.

It would eventually arise to some extent also in the future relationship between the two sides.
