Obviously a highly partial summary but still a lot of useful detail here.
Looks like that link to the summary of the deal is deleted but there's a link here
This version cuts out the bit at the end which says Vote Leave promises were kept (*waves to EU citizens*) and Theresa May was a disaster. Hope someone screenshot it?

Here's part of what's left, re legal services...presumably "improve" isn't a comparison to the status quo...

1/ EU courts, Brexit law

Missed this one - recent judgment of the EU General Court on whether a UK official who obtained Belgian citizenship in order to keep job with EU institutions was still entitled to an "expatriation allowance" despite usual rule - curia.europa.eu/juris/document…
2/ The General Court rejected the staff member's arguments - but he's already appealed to the CJEU.

The main argument re Brexit is at paras 54-73 - ie taking out Belgian nationality (and therefore losing the allowance) was a 'force majeure' for the staff member. Court says no.
3/ This paragraph sets out a striking principle which would be relevant outside the scope of staff cases - especially to UK citizens in EU/EU citizens in UK.

His argument by analogy based on free movement law cases and dual citizenship also failed.

1/ CJEU, Brexit law

New ruling - appeal of UK citizen seeking to retain EU citizenship rejected on standing grounds: curia.europa.eu/juris/document…
However:
- this was a request for interim measures; the main case is still pending
- two other cases directly against EU are pending
2/ - all three cases likely to face standing issues
- but a fourth case sent from the French courts to the CJEU will *not* face standing issues, ie the Court in principle has to answer the national court's questions about whether UK citizens have lost EU citizenship
3/ I've updated my collection of links to Brexit litigation, including the latest developments on "loss of EU citizenship" cases, plus the internal market bill - eulawanalysis.blogspot.com/p/litigating-b…

EU 'no deal' unilateral contingency measures published - to deal with aviation, air safety, road haulage, fisheries

press release - ec.europa.eu/commission/pre…

legal texts - ec.europa.eu/info/publicati…
Except for reg on aviation safety, proposed laws "will automatically stop when an agreement enters into force or stop after a fixed period if no agreement enters into force (6 months for the air services and road related measures and 1 year for the fisheries related measures)"
Commission points out that visa waiver for short term visits of UK citizens is already legislated for. Discussion here: eulawanalysis.blogspot.com/2019/04/travel…
