NLJ this week: Post-Brexit uncertainty & reputational damage

Can Boris Johnson’s successor repair ‘the damage that has been done to the UK’s reputation in law’? 

Writing in this week’s NLJ, Edwin Coe senior partner & NLJ consultant editor, David Greene looks at the impact on the UK’s reputation of the Northern Ireland Protocol Bill, and the scarred relations between the Johnson government and the EU.

One ongoing area of uncertainty is whether the UK’s application to accede to the Lugano Convention on the Recognition of Judgments will ever be granted.

Greene writes: ‘Political reality probably suggests the current dispute with the EU has put paid to accession any time soon. Let us hope a new government might throw accession into a new relationship.’
