On 24 August 2017, the UK government will set out its guiding principles regarding law enforcement and dispute resolution in a post-Brexit context.

The UK will tomorrow provide its guidelines on the issues of enforcement and dispute resolution following the end of the direct jurisdiction of the Court of Justice of the European Union (CJEU) in the country after Brexit.

A future partnership paper, which specifically explores enforcement of rights and obligations considering both judicial and political dispute resolution, will discuss how the British government considers that the CJEU should no longer have direct jurisdiction over the UK as a non-member state.

The paper will also provide examples of existing ways of resolving disputes in international agreements, without the CJEU having direct jurisdiction, as well as outlining some guiding principles behind the UK's approach, including- in the words of the British government- maximising certainty for individuals and businesses and the continued respect its international legal obligations.
