Civil justice co-operation between EU states and the UK is likely to continue after the transition period despite the EU Brexit taskforce’s current position, litigation specialist David Greene predicts in this week's NLJ.
The position of the taskforce, led by chief negotiator Michel Barnier, is that, post-Brexit, the UK will be treated like any other third country. Writing in NLJ this week, however, David Greene, NLJ consultant editor and senior partner at Edwin Coe, strikes a more positive note.
‘That may be a stance to take in negotiation but it is myopic and unless we crash out one cannot see it being carried through,’ he writes.
‘Such is the integration between the EU 27 and the UK built up over the past 45 years co-operation in civil justice is a substantive two-way street with benefits both sides.’
