answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 27/09/2019 answer text <p>The original £39bn was part of the Withdrawal Agreement as negotiated. If the UK leaves without a deal, then that figure will no longer apply. In this scenario, the Government will have to determine what financial obligations the UK has to the EU. We will not simply accept the original £39bn figure in the Withdrawal Agreement.</p><p> </p> answering member printed Lord Callanan question first answered 27/09/2019 10:08:25 answering member 4336 label Biography information for Lord Callanan

uin	HL9014
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 11/07/2018 answer text <p>As provided for in the EU (Withdrawal) Act, UK courts and tribunals will no longer be bound by judgments by the Court of Justice of the European Union after we leave the EU. However, section 6(2) of the Act provides that our domestic courts and tribunals can take into account anything done by the EU, the Court of Justice of the European Union, or any other EU entity after we leave the EU, if it is relevant to any matter before them. The Act’s position reflects the same approach UK courts and tribunals currently take to judgments made in other foreign jurisdictions.</p> answering member printed Lord Callanan question first answered 11/07/2018 11:16:07 answering member 4336 label Biography information for Lord Callanan
