EU launches two court cases against UK over post-Brexit actions
...
On Monday, the EU body said it would take the UK to the Court of Justice of the European Union over European citizens’ rights under the Withdrawal Agreement.
EU law gives EU citizens and their families the right to live, work, and move freely across EU countries. The UK was supposed to respect these rights for EU citizens who were already living there at the end of 2020, but instead limited who could benefit from them.
The second case relates to Bilateral Investment Treaties (BITs) that the UK still has in force with six EU nations: Bulgaria, Czechia, Croatia, Lithuania, Poland and Slovenia.
These investment deals, which were created while the UK was in the EU, go against EU laws.
The UK is no longer under the jurisdiction of the EU Court of Justice in most cases, but there are instances, such as under the Withdrawal Agreement and the Northern Ireland Protocol, where it remains so.
