The EU Withdrawal Agreement 2020 was signed by the #EU and #Brexit Britain.

It clearly stipulates « best endeavour and good faith ».

1/8
Best endeavours is a phrase commonly found in contracts that places an obligation on the identified party to use all efforts necessary to fulfill the terms set out.

A best endeavours policy places a party under a stricter obligation than a reasonable endeavors obligation.

Depending on the side you’re on, it can be interpreted both ways.

However, a best endeavours policy for law professionals is commonly used an exit door to break any contract / treaty.

This is common practice b/w countries & businesses. No lawyer will admit it 🙄 publicity

The Withdrawal Agreement 2020 also stipulates that the UK Parliament is SOVEREIGN in clause 38.

This was reinforced by the @thatginamiller Supreme Court case.

#GinaMiller’s response is FRAUD. There is no difference between national laws and international laws here.

4/8
The Clause 38 is part of an International Treaty and can legally be used. Both parties signed it.

No ifs, no buts.

You might say this isn’t ethical, but ethics in any legal framework is subject to interpretation - like the best endeavours policy.

Clause 38 of WAB makes Parliament SOVEREIGN.

"This prerogative power includes the power to negotiate international treaties, to amend them, & to withdraw from them.

The exercise of that treaty-making power is not justiciable by the courts, unless statute has made it so."

There should be an official #GinaMiller day in Britain for her services to #Brexit.

The EU may fine us.
How much ? £39 bn ? #m

Haven’t they done so under May?

7/8
This Internal Market Bill and the position that the E.U. want to move us toward sets this up quite simply, there is only one question for every M.P. in the house.

Do you support the #EU or the #UK ?
