Excellent stuff Solly.
The EU has launched infringement proceedings under Article 131 in October 2020 over the*UK Internal Market Bill*which if passed in that initial form, would have given UK ministers powers unilaterally disapply aspects of protocol. The
EU halted legal proceedings after the UK government dropped the offending clauses of the bill following a*UK–EU agreement*on the issues concerned through the UK–EU Joint Committee.
In March 2021, the vice president of the European Commission said that the EU was launching infringement proceedings against the UK government for a breach of the Northern Ireland protocol. The UK government announced it would*unilaterally extend two of the ‘grace periods’*agreed by the UK and the EU in December – delaying the full application of EU law required under the protocol without the EU’s consent.
This case is still active. As long as no verdict has been given the UK is innocent until proven guilty......
