The EU will take Britain to the International Court of
Justice if it tries to walk away without paying an estimated £50bn
‘divorce bill’, a reported leak of its negotiating strategy suggests.
The draft plan – obtained by Dutch newspaper De Volkskrant –
threatens a long legal battle at The Hague to grab back what the EU
regards as the UK’s liabilities for its 43-year membership.
“In that case it is: see you in The Hague!” it quotes an EU
official – in response to Theresa May’s threat to leave with “no deal”
if the Brexit talks cut up rough.
