Closed 853 signatures

What the petition asks

Theresa May is considering giving the ECJ a role in Britain once it has left the EU. She held talks on a referral system for European citizens who remain in the UK. Judges in the UK would refer cases to Luxembourg should queries crop up that have not been addressed during Britain's membership.
