thought this was amusing(particularly the last line should amuse remainers), taken from the BBC news web site
Conservative Brexiteer Daniel Kawczynski is asked about the panel of lawyers that is examining the documents agreed in Strasbourg last night for the European Research Group (ERG).
On whether their advice would trump that provided by the attorney general, he replies: "I don't think it's a question of one trumping the other."
Asked what should happen if the two sets of advice contradict one another, he says: "We will have to cross that bridge when we come to it."
He adds that the ERG will be "taking advice" from the DUP on the matter.
The final lines from Geoffrey Cox's letter of legal advice say:
The legal risk remains unchanged that if through no such demonstrable failure of either party, but simply because of intractable differences, that situation does arise, the UK would have, at least while the fundamental circumstances remained the same, no internationally lawful means of exiting the Protocol’s arrangements, save by agreement.
