A former cabinet minister has hailed a court ruling, underlining that since leaving the EU, Britain's trade deals are protected from international interference. In the UK, former Cabinet Minister Ranil Jayawardena has hailed an Appeal Court ruling which has confirmed that UK trade deals can no longer be interfered with post-Brexit by international organizations. Jayawardena is the chairman of Liz Truss' Conservative Group for Growth and as a former trade minister, pushed UK trade deals around the world.
The court ruling last month dismissed a challenge by an international NGO, The Western Sahara Campaign (WSCUK) to invalidate the Association Agreement between Morocco and the United Kingdom, which has boosted trade between the two countries by 50 percent since 2021.
The challenge had been brought because of an attempt by separatists to break away from Morocco, and the ruling in effect also confirmed the integrity of the North African nation's borders.
