Further tit for tat here yesterday
The EU has launched legal action against the UK after Boris Johnson failed to respond to Brussels’ demand that he drop legislation that would overwrite the withdrawal agreement and break international law.
What wild happen if we lose?
The commission’s letter is the start of a lengthy process that could end up in the European court of justice. The EU court in Luxembourg could impose huge daily fines for continued breaches....The UK agreed to be bound by decisions of the court on cases that began before the end of the transition period on 31 December, and for four years after that point.
Interesting bit of background:
The infringement procedure is a common tool used by the commission against member states. Last year there were 800 open cases. Germany had 47 pending cases and France 34. Each procedure takes an average of 35 months to complete.
