United Kingdom’s position on cross-border civil judicial cooperation in the future partnership – 22 August 2017

On 22 August 2017, the UK Department for Exiting the European Union, has published  a policy paper providing a cross-border civil judicial cooperation framework, as part of the negotiations with the EU on Brexit.

As the United Kingdom leaves the European Union, the Government will seek a deep and special partnership with the EU. Within this partnership, cross-border commerce, trade and family relationships will continue. Building on years of cooperation across borders, it is vital for UK and EU consumers, citizens, families and businesses, that there are coherent common rules to govern interactions between legal systems.

To this end, the UK, as a non-member state outside the direct jurisdiction of the Court of Justice of the European Union (CJEU), will seek to agree new close and comprehensive arrangements for civil judicial cooperation with the EU.
