In case of "
complications" there will, as part of the agreement, be a new dispute resolution body consisting of equal representation together with an independent arbitrator holding the balance of power so that it stays politically neutral, supposedly.

Indeed zappy! And therein lies the importance of the lugano convention (separate thread on this subject)
From your link:
There is no role for the CJEU in TCA dispute settlement. TCA provisions will be interpreted in line with*customary international law.
The*Vienna Convention on the Law of Treaties*enumerates the cases in which an international convention is terminated. A unilateral denunciation is not among them. Absent an impossibility of performance, a fundamental change of circumstances or a breach by one party, an agreement by the parties is required to suspend the operation of a treaty.
Since the Brussels Convention bound the UK to no less than 14 EU Member States, it may take some time and effort to reach agreement that the Brussels Convention is all over. The mere information of the European Council by the British government is certainly not sufficient. Of course, the EU and the UK could also enter into a new treaty. The British government has lodged an*application*to join the Lugano Convention, but it is still awaiting an answer from the EU.
