With UK-EU negotiations continuing, Kevin Roberts &
Charlotte Glaser discuss the UK's anticipated departure from
the European Arrest Warrant.
AAs the world continues to grapple with one of the worst global
pandemics in modern history, the UK government's progress on
Brexit has slipped from the headlines. Following the latest round
of negotiations between the UK and EU at the end of July, the
UK's Chief Negotiator with the EU, David Frost, released a
statement stating that it is 'unfortunately clear that [the UK
and EU] will not reach in July the early understanding on the
principles underlying any agreement'. The next round of
negotiations begin on 17 August. Undoubtedly, high up on the list
of matters being discussed is the European Arrest Warrant (EAW);
specifically, the UK's anticipated withdrawal from the EAW and
what fills the lacuna left behind by such a withdrawal.
