SIR - Further to Brian Holmans' letter, (T&A letters, May 16) I don't doubt that the European Court of Justice would play some part in the event of any trade disputes between the UK and EU, but it would not have direct jurisdiction on matters relating to our domestic law or be able to hear appeals submitted to it by British subjects.

Furthermore and depending what has been negotiated, the ECJ would not be able to insist that we observe a freedom of movement, which would then allow the UK to limit migration from the EU.

To most people who had voted to leave the EU, the above considerations regarding the ECJ are far more important than the trade arguments which Mr Holmans continues to make.
