	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 24/07/2018 answer text <p>In those areas where the UK agrees to retain a common rulebook, it will be important for businesses and citizens that they are interpreted and applied consistently. To ensure this, the UK has proposed that: its courts will pay due regard to the relevant Court of Justice of the European Union (CJEU) case law when deciding a case relating to these rules; and where there is a dispute between the UK and the EU, the Joint Committee or an independent arbitration panel will be able to ask the CJEU to give an interpretation of a common rule. This is a recognition of legal fact - no other court can bind the EU on the meaning of EU law.</p><p><strong><strong> </strong></strong></p><p>The UK has also proposed that the Joint Committee should keep under review the case law of both the senior courts of the UK and the CJEU, where this was relevant to the interpretation of the agreements. If significant divergences were found between respective courts’ interpretation of the agreements, the Joint Committee could be empowered to act to preserve the consistent interpretation of the agreements.</p> answering member constituency Fareham answering member printed Suella Braverman question first answered 24/07/2018 16:51:30 answering member 4475 label Biography information for Suella Braverman
