Quoted and cited extensively in the European Parliament commissioned study, which analyses the implications of Brexit in relation to the profile of judicial cooperation in civil matters. The study examines the existing legal framework in order to identify the areas of law in respect of which there is a gap in the relationship between the EU and the UK.

Concludes that the conclusion of new treaties between the EU and the UK should be pursued in relation to those areas where there is a regulatory gap, with particular reference to the area of human rights.
