THERESA MAY has been accused of Brexit “abandonment” by a top QC who says her Chequers deal means that UK courts will still be ruled by the European Union.

European law expert Martin Howe QC warns that under the White Paper terms, the European Court of Justice (ECJ) “will have direct jurisdiction to bind the UK to make its law comply with the EU rulebook”.
Rather than restoring the supremacy of British courts, the Government’s plans would make the UK “subservient” to the EU. The chairman of Lawyers for Britain slams the Prime Minister’s claims that ECJ jurisdiction in the UK will end as “sophistry at best” and accuses her of breaking her Brexit promise to take back control of our laws.
The report says that under the Chequers White Paper, the UK will adopt a Moldova/ Ukraine/Georgia model of submission to the rulings of the ECJ.
The three have agreed that in a dispute between them and the EU about whether they have followed EU law, the dispute would not be decided by their own courts or a balanced international panel but by the ECJ.
