1/ EU asylum law - new developments

I've seen a paper from the Slovenian Council presidency which seeks to carve out another one of the proposals for revised EU asylum law from the package of proposed new laws

(This has already been done for the revised EU asylum agency law)
2/ The suggestion now is to carve out the proposal for a revised law on 'Eurodac' - the EU asylum database.

At the moment it stores limited data on asylum seekers and irregular border crossers. The proposal would involve keeping far more data on more people ->
3/ In particular, it would collect data on:

- everyone over 6 (the current cut-off is 14)
- irregular migrants detected *on* the territory, not just at the border
- photos, names etc (currently just fingerprints are kept)

Time limits for storage of data would be increased

Brexit law

Proposal to extend deadline for evaluation of UK law for 9 months, so as not to disrupt exchange of policing data: data.consilium.europa.eu/doc/document/S…

(Has to receive approval of EU Council, then agreement of UK, to be adopted)
More Brexit law

Northern Ireland Court of Appeal refuses leave to bring judicial review arguing that the PM didn't sign the withdrawal agreement in good faith

Summary of judgment: judiciaryni.uk/sites/judiciar…

(Text of judgment not available yet)
This was the case where the lawyer got headlines by talking about "fraud" (which wasn't really what was being alleged): belfasttelegraph.co.uk/news/brexit/co…

Like the lawyer in the challenge to the NI protocol talking about "Vichy", grandstanding doesn't necessarily help litigants
