ABSTRACT

This chapter focuses on the aforementioned themes by analysing the relationship between the Court of Justice and the United Kingdom (UK) legal order after Brexit takes place. It explains the role that the Agreement on the UK’s Withdrawal from the European Union (EU) envisages for the Court of Justice of the EU. The chapter describes the role of the Court of Justice in the UK legal order after Brexit takes place by reference to the EU Withdrawal Act 2018 and the Agreement on the Future Relationship. It explores the broader context of the challenges that international organisations and international courts face at the moment from various states. The UK government has declared that in ‘taking back control of its laws’ it needs to distance itself from the jurisprudence of the Court of Justice and should put an end to the primacy of its case law.
