NLJ this week: Post-Brexit, approach with caution

11893

We should take a ‘softly, softly’ approach to the post-Brexit world, David Greene, senior partner at Edwin Coe, advises in his NLJ column this week.

Negotiating rights of practise is happening but is ‘a delicate process to be taken carefully’, Greene says.  The Trade and Cooperation Agreement (TCA) is yet to be ratified―it has provisional application until the end of this month―and concerns have been raised over events relating to the Northern Ireland border, the UK’s alleged breach of the Withdrawal Agreement and a recent decision on EU competence by the German Constitutional Court.

Greene covers the uncertainty surrounding the Lugano Convention and identifies possible common law solutions, as well as suggesting some further reading.
