Smooth legal cooperation between the UK and Hungary is very important, regardless of the direction that the process of the cessation of Britain’s EU membership (Brexit) might take, Justice Minister László Trócsányi said in London.
On 29 November 2018 the Justice Minister had talks with his British counterpart David Gauke about their views on current challenges in the justice system and post-Brexit cooperation in criminal and civil judicial matters at the Embassy of Hungary upon the invitation of Ambassador Kristóf Szalay-Bobrovniczky.
Furthermore he met Baroness Natalie Evans, Leader of the House of Lords, member of the British Cabinet, Bob Neill MP, Chair of the Justice Committee of the House of Commons and Chair of the All-Party Parliamentary Hungary Group and Sir William Cash MP, chair of the European Scrutiny Committee.
After his talks, Mr Trócsányi told the Hungarian news agency MTI that cooperation between the two countries currently equally extends to the areas of civil law, family law, trade law and penal law. Thanks to the large Hungarian community living in Britain and the intensive commercial and judicial relations, the two countries are connected together by “a thousand ties”, he added.
