Like they have already.

I guess people will have to resort to the European Court of Human Rights instead....

Look on the bright side, although the European Court of Justice will still preside over the UK, the UK government won't have to attend all those incredibly boring, tedious meetings that will decide the legislation it will enforce.

IV. Enforcement and dispute settlement rules
(1) The Commission should have full powers for the monitoring and the Court of Justice of the European Union should have full jurisdiction corresponding to the duration of the protection of citizen's rights in the Withdrawal agreement.

There will need to be an adjustment for infrastructure that we part-own, obviously, but that will form part of "the negotiation".

I still wish it wasn't happening though.

Actually there are only 2 so far as they're the 2 that they want to work with first, one regarding citizens rights and the other regarding the financial settlement. Although they're drafts, after reading them I suspect that these are very close to the final thing:
